oldabewla Posted January 24, 2014 Share #1 Posted January 24, 2014 I have this complete 1942 AAF aircraft food container with no broken thermoses and owned it for a long time. I alway wonder how rare are they? were they used in the beginning of the war them stopped? and what the price they sell for? I just never see them and for sale.

oldabewla Posted January 24, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted January 24, 2014 In the movie Memphis Belle, the Belle is hit up front and scrape metal also gets Capt Morgan's thermos of tomato juice which splatters the cockpit of the Belle. This is what I assume was hit? the food contain? Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plant#4 Posted February 9, 2014 Share #14 Posted February 9, 2014 A person could build a collection of just air crew food containers, and THAT would be cool. I have a few of the thermoses that were used in the air. Every time one of these food baskets come up on ebay (when I see it) they go for more than I care to pay. I still want a B-36 coffee pot.

3505 Posted March 6, 2014 Share #22 Posted March 6, 2014 Hi Craig, thanks for the reply. I have only seen recent photos of the set, never one from the 40's, so nice to read that the thermos were commercial off the shelf thermoses. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am putting together a B-24 display and have been looking for one of these. I've got a lot of WWI-WWII German & U.S. stuff to trade.
