Decanter STS Creation - Lt. Col. Huie Lamb "Etta Jeanne II" P-51D

Lt. Col. Huie H. Lamb Jr. was the kind of man who made you stand a little straighter. 

Humble.

Honorable.

The type who'd take a young pilot under his wing and share wisdom over BBQ at his favorite spot just because that's what you do when someone needs help.

He was also a World War II Ace who flew 61 combat missions over Europe with the 82nd Fighter Squadron, 78th Fighter Group, 8th Air Force. 

Lt. Col. Lamb shot down German aircraft in P-47 Thunderbolts and his P-51D Mustang, "Etta Jeanne II," named after the woman waiting for him back home. And on one of those missions, he became one of the first Allied pilots to down an Me 262, the Luftwaffe's jet fighter that was supposed to change the war.

That's the kind of pilot he was.

Our friend and collaborator, Dan White of Cockpit Creations, had the honor of knowing him. It started with a request: Would Lt. Col. Lamb sign some P-47 gun bay panels?

Of course he did. Because that's who he was.

Later, Lt. Col. Lamb took Dan's son Jake under his wing, sharing advice pilot to pilot as Jake earned his ratings.

The mentorship. The BBQ. The stories. That's the measure of the man.

When we presented Lt. Col. Lamb with this tribute—his aircraft, his story, built in metal and glass—he looked at the decanter we'd created and said yes. He gave us his signature. His endorsement.

That's not something you fake. That's an honor you carry every time one of these decanters gets poured.

This isn't a commemorative bottle. This is handcrafted aviation memorabilia built the way "Etta Jeanne II" was built—aircraft skin-type metal, hand-formed and hand-riveted using traditional aviation manufacturing techniques.

Designed in collaboration with Cockpit Creations, every rivet, every line, every contour of this decanter is engineered to precision, making it the perfect military aviation gift for veterans and pilots.

Pick it up. If you've ever worked on a plane, you'll feel it.

This is Lt. Col. Huie Lamb's legacy—pilot, legendary WW2 aviator, mentor, friend. And it's yours to carry forward.
