Finally rounded out my yoke cap collection and got a Consolidated Vultee Made By Ford yoke cap. It does have a crack, but besides that, it is in really good shape.

Frantically searching ebay under various search names every week. Just got to know the differences between originals and repros. There's an original B-29 one on ebay for sale right now.

Will do when the cap comes in the mail. Those are the seller's photos.

For the meantime, here's a teaser.

I thought a yoke cap collection would be pretty rounded from the get-go?
