INIMICUS Posted Saturday at 03:41 PM Share #81 Posted Saturday at 03:41 PM here's a pair belonged to a B-17 togglier / nose gunner -- he flew 21 missions with the 8th (7th Bomb. Sqdn.) and possibly the 9th in '44 / '45. one's nicely padded, other not at all -- and it lacks backing (unfinished? or the guy might've thought he might wanted a 'smooth' look?). both look somewhat tunic removed. here's his A-2 https://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/393606-united-sheeplined-clothing-a-2-for-comment/#comment-3062200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INIMICUS Posted Saturday at 03:48 PM Share #82 Posted Saturday at 03:48 PM Actually looking closer seems both are removed -- and the '' padded'' one's felt critter chewed.... this crewman liked theater-mades; also had silk 9th AF and stubby wing 8th SSIs. You know the types. Thanks for looks & any comments! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
