carbinephalen Posted January 31, 2012 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2012 A very rare uniform indeed! And quite valuable also in that condition! Thank you for sharing Justine! :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Victory Museum Posted January 31, 2012 Share #3 Posted January 31, 2012 Bonjour, Justine. That is a rare uniform, indeed. I recently acquired mine from fellow forum member "carbinephalen", who was the first person to acknowledge your post on this topic. At the present time, mine is partially complete as I refuse to remove a set of caduceus (caducei) pins from other nursing uniforms in my collection, so I am casually perusing Ebay for the correct period with the "right look". (i.e. I hoping to come across a pair with blue enameled N's. ) I have the K-1 flight nurse hat, as well. Presently I'm looking for an L-1 uniform which was mostly used in the ETO. P.S. The flight nurse wing is original, and like the K-1 - late war. (Early ones were gold washed). The reverse is marked "acid test" and "sterling". I wish I had a nice mannequin to display it upon. Eventually.... Msn P.P.S. If you like women's uniforms, then do a search for my USMF name "US Victory Museum" under this forum "Women's Services" for many of my old postings. I have a very large collection you may enjoy perusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

US Victory Museum Posted June 3, 2013 Share #13 Posted June 3, 2013 Time to update Justine's wonderful K-1 Flight Nurse uniform topic.Finding myself with a surplus Flight Nurse wing (Balfour), it was only a matter of timebefore I found myself looking for a place to put it. When this K-1 Flight Nurse Jacketappeared recently on Ebay, I knew that I needed it like I needed a another hole in myhead...., but what the heck, that never stopped me before. This a NOT a K-1 Flight SUIT, it is a K-1 Flight Blouse made exclusively for Flight Nurses.Golly-Gee (Batman) now I need another K-1 hat and two additional K-1 trousers to havethree complete uniforms (well, and some of the insignia too.)Related topic (The wings)http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/159861-wwii-flight-nurse-wings-wwii-first-and-second-types/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CombatEng44 Posted January 6, 2019 Share #25 Posted January 6, 2019 Has anyone ever seen a private purchase Flight Nurse K-1? the reason I ask is that I have a friend with the jacket but it has no markings except the private manufacture which I can not remember. It had no AAF markings inside or out. Is it just a civie jacket which happens to look like the K-1 like some of the 1940's M-41? Sorry for no photo but I did not want to question the fellow. Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
