US Flight jacket and trousers and RAF flight helmet


Description

A US Air Force Type B-3 bomber jacket made from dark brown leather and sheepskin lining. This pattern features one waist pocket and the back of the jacket is made from 3 panels. One of the seams of the jacket has opened and there's wear to the leather.

 

An overtrousers in the style of the US Naval aviation, with zippers that run the entire length of the trousers. It has TS-2 markings in yellow on the legs. The lining is sheep wool and also has a maker's tag "Willis and Geiger". It still has the braces attachments and the Talon-marked zippers in working order. The trousers don't have any holes but have wear to the leather.

 

A wartime Type-C RAF flying helmet, without the receivers and loom. One of the earcups is heavily deformed and warped. The leather is in fair condition and the straps are still in place. The chin strap is made from webbing. On the chamois lining, there are Size No.2 61/2 - 7 size stamps and another number marking. The chin straps are the latter type, made from grey webbing.

 

USAF Oxygen Mask A-14 with a 'Juliet' head harness so that it can be worn without a flying helmet. Unfortunately, the straps are mostly damaged and heavily cracked. The mask retains the shape and it's missing the nose wiring.
