Hey all,

Just wondering if there are any uniform collectors here on WIX???? I was at a Surplus store here in TN looking for Vietnam stuff and I came across some NEW Army Air Corps heating insulators for flying boots. Anyone need a pair????? I will pass on the deal I got to you or trade for some Vietnam stuff.

I've been collecting for years and my wife actually has more vintage uniforms than I do!

Yep, I've got the bug. Most of my stuff is WWII Luftwaffe.

Which type of electrical boots did you find?

Regards,
Mike

i collect uniforms / flight gear accessories etc, among other aviation memorabilia. that heated suit is probably a "blue bunny" suit, appropriately nicknamed!! but not a real desirable item in collecting circles. thanks for the heads up though!!

I've got a few thing left bvecause they were down at the airport in a display cabinet. Two of the coolest are the RAF leather flying gloves Eagle Squadron pilot Oscar Coen gave me

and 354th FG ace Don Beerbower's insignia, wings and cased British DFC

I used to have a world class collection of USAAF memorabilia including uniforms, helmets, etc. I even had my own Norden Bombsight. I lost about 90% of the collection in Hurricane Andrew. I did manage to save my A2's, some helmets, a couple of uniforms and a couple of other jackets.

I've got a summer dress uniform and a set of pinks and greens, with an Ike jacket. I wear the pinks pants all the time. They are the best dress pants I have ever had. The Mrs. thinks I am a little dorky for wearing 60 year old pants to weddings. :lol:

Also have a leather flying helmet.
