The M1 is a FS FB with a Capac liner.

 

A nice yard sale find.

The little jumper. 
 

I’ve never seen one with a camouflage chute.

Definitely looks like the same name.

 

My best picker buddy found it at a local thrift store in Ferndale, Mi.

The insignia on the helmet liner is for the Army Cavalry School.

What's your buddy's phone number? I'll give him a 10% raise to pick for me! Haha, just kidding.

 

That is a great lot. How difficult would it be to narrow down the pilot to find out his awards? That's a common name unfortunately. I have a Naval pilot's uniform named to Drew Bledsoe's grandfather (THE Drew Bledsoe of NFL fame). He was awarded an Air Medal with several oak leaves, American Campaign, Pacific Theater, and Victory WWII. He later went on to become a WA State legislator and director of agriculture for WA State.

 

That second helmet is sure a beaut, if you want to pass it along, I may know a guy 😉
