Need Info on AF Flight Boots

[Maxpower]

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!

Hello

 

They are post ww2 flight boots

Nice boots...A-6A is a direct variant from the A6 WWII boots..The A-6A are late WWII boots but yours has the USAF decal versus the AAF decal...the post war boots were designated A-1s..

 

the mukluks are nice...do they have a USAF stamp? maybe from a arctic survival kit

No USAF stamp on the mukluks, just what's pictured.

 

Any idea what, if anything, these boots are worth? Are there collectors that would appreciate them?

collectors would like them for sure...you can check ebay sale prices for what A6 boots are going for...currently
