From Iwo Jima in WWII to Tucson Today: 47th Fighter Squadron flag still flies

Matilde Rubio, art conservator of Tohono Restoration and Susie Moreno, conservator technician of Tohono Restoration, apply a mixture of rabbit fat to a World War II era 47th Fighter Squadron Flag at the 47th FS clubhouse, Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Ariz., April 14, 2022. Tohono Restoration uses the rabbit fat mixture as an adhesive to protect canvas material during transport and it is more flexible than typical glues. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt.
