The 14's were also used by the AAF, probably more so in the early flight helmets. -
I'm green when it comes to WWII knives but have some questions. If your knowledgeable about fixed blades knives and wouldn't mind some questions, please PM me.

My first WW2 AN-6530 goggles... really nice.

Great pair of goggles with the original pad. Glad to see that you didn't get a pair with the reproduction pad that some guys are selling. -

Thanks for all the kind comments. Airborne is not really my forte. I collect WWII aviation gear and also WWII P38's. What I really like in this grouping is a captured P38 with the capture papers ID ing it a member of the 101st. Here's a picture of the inside of the helmet. Nothing special. Also on the overseas hat is his 377th PFAB DUI pin.

I wished the helmet was airborne but it's not. I'll see if I can get a close up of the P38. Posting photo's here isn't the easiest.
