I just founded on my hard drive this photo I made some years ago for an article about the 4th FIW. This is a P-1B helmet and his MS-22001 mask from Korean war era.

Great, Ian! :D

 

 

The parachute is the USAF back automatic parachute from the set 50c7024-9 or -10. 50C7024 is the number of this parachutes serie. Each dash number in this serie is for a dedicated version and use, both USAF and Army.

hello,

was wondering whether the G-3A anti-G pants could have come in more different shades of color. Those on your pilot are decidedly a nice sage green, unless it depends from different lighting?

This my complete F-86E pilot from 1953. G-3A are olive drab more than a true green:
