[Blue Leader]

Hi,

 

Here a display showing a pilot of the 31st Photographic Reco Squadron flying on F-5E from Saint-Dizier Airfield (A-64), France, in October 1944.
Flight gear is composed of a B-10 flight jacket, an AN-S-31 flying summer suit and a F-3 electrically heated suit with F-2/F-3 gloves.
Note the color of the suit (khaki) and the F-2/F-3 gloves not common.
The headgear is composed of an A-11 flying helmet, a rare A-13 oxygen mask and B-8 goggles. A H-2 emergency oxygen cylinder is attached to the leg.

Very nice layout! The B-10 has always been one of my favorite flight jackets and the 38 is tied for my favorite plane.

The most rarer item there is the A-13 mask. Only 4000 pieces were manufactured until August 1944.
