Amazing finds! You found a WASP and a Flight Nurse jacket! I am beyond jealous! :)

 

Personally, I would not repair the jacket. I don't know if it would detract from the value but it is such a unique item that I would not want to alter it. The rest of the jacket looks to be in great shape.

 

I have been looking thru pictures trying to find out if that is an oxygen tab mark on the B-17 jacket. I haven't been able to find any pictures with the oxygen in use. I will keep looking.

Hello Steve! Amazing finds, leave them, they are only in one's kind.

I love everything associated with the organization 'WASP'. I am doing the small project about it.

Great set

 

I would leave as is.With items as these...less is more.They stiill will display well.

 

Nothing wrong with restoration or conservation but with these jackets I feel so few exist and not really sure that replacing the knits would increase the value.

Thanks for the advise folks! I'll just store the replacement cuffs and waist band in the pockets with a couple of moth balls for now.

I found a pair of A-13 Trousers from Vintage Productions to go with the B-17, and am hoping to find a pair of A-12 Trousers for the B-16.
