Maxpower Posted September 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2017 Hi Guys, I'm a neophyte when it comes to uniforms and such. I inherited these boots from my Grandpa and wanted to know the history on them if possible.My Grandpa was a USAF pilot in WWII, Korea and Vietnam. He died while stationed in Germany (at Berchtesgaden I think) before I ever met him though. Anyway, any info you guys have on these would be cool. What time period were they used, maybe what types/seasons/missions were they used on etc. Anything is appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea what, if anything, these boots are worth? Are there collectors that would appreciate them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
