Thats my friend Ed's stuff from No. Cal.. He has an entire B-17 crew set-up.
Several years ago a bunch of us got suited up at Livermore, CA. when the Collings Foundation B-17 & B-24 were in town. Took a bunch of pics and went flyin in the period gear. What a blast!
Sorry for the lousy pics, they're quick digital pics of paper pics.

Mike

Super cool pics Mike. With a little Photoshop in it, adding a few scratches here and there, erasing one thing or another and you would be transported to Europe, 1944…
Cheers,
