pararaftanr2 Posted December 11, 2010 Share #128 Posted December 11, 2010 Hi Jerry, Contrary to popular belief, it appears the 37-A-17 throat mic was part of the USMC contract sound powered phones used by Marine artillery crews and was not an aviation item at all.

flight helmets 522 Posted April 1, 2011 Share #143 Posted April 1, 2011 last one... any coments are welcome!!!Best regards, Jerry K. Jerry, I know a man whose father was a pilot of a USAAF B-25 in the Pacific. He flew the solid nosed model with the extra, fixed guns, similar to what you show here. He primarily carried out low level para-bomb and strafing attacks on shipping and ground targets. All the pics his family has of him in flight or near his plane, show him wearing ball cap and headphones, similar to what you show. He and his crew often wore shorts and t-shirts in the hot weather. They were shot down once and evaded capture for nearly two weeks, before being rescued. Phil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted April 1, 2011 Share #144 Posted April 1, 2011 Hi Phil. Nice story! Probably they used more AAF gear than like Navy crews of patrol/bomber planes. The VPB crews used hole mix of summer, winter, intermediate clothing especially far and far at the North of Pacific. Here is cool photo of VP-104 crew with Colvinex heated suits, winter M380B boots used with summer flight suit... Here is my improved crew memember display with AN6552 jacket, M380B boots, 3 fingers intermediate gloves, black/navy wool billed cap and USN headset. regards, Jerry display 3 fingers intermediate USN gloves, Taylor Gydeway compass and M575 imperial pocket knife Close photo of rigger made ammo loops sewed to the blue heavy cavans sleeve. Cavans is typical for rigger made items. Regards, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flight helmets 522 Posted April 1, 2011 Share #145 Posted April 1, 2011 3 fingers intermediate USN gloves, Taylor Gydeway compass and M575 imperial pocket knife Great stuff! Do you have input as to what the pocket knife would be used for that he would hang it from a string for immediate access? What does the red plastic hanging case hold? Phil.

jerry_k Posted April 2, 2011 Share #146 Posted April 2, 2011 This items are for survival purpose. The red plastic case is Taylor Gydeway Compass, very often we can see it at the vintage photos from WW2, and pocket knife is M575 imperial pocket knife, used in M592 survival back pad kit and after 44 when back pad kit was removed this type of pocket knife was available in clothing and gear supply catalouqe for pilots and crewmembers. Also the white cord is from M592 back pad kit and after 44 was also available in supply calatouqe as lanyard for knife, compass, whistle, flashlight etc...

pararaftanr2 Posted April 2, 2011 Share #147 Posted April 2, 2011 Hi Jerry and Phil, Outstanding display as always Jerry. Your attention to detail puts it over the top. Since the use of the Gydeway compass has gone undocumented thus far, I thought I'd add some photographic reference for those who are unaware of it. From a survival equipment display at NAS Norfolk in early 1945: Some examples of it in use: Best regards, Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted April 2, 2011 Share #148 Posted April 2, 2011 Thanks for input Paul. Here is another one great pic with two M575 pocket knifes hanged at the mae vest. Regards, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair pilot Posted April 8, 2011 Share #150 Posted April 8, 2011 Hi All, Hi Jerry,yes, I saw myself doing the USN pilot because I think this area of collection is much richer in terms of equipment which the AAF. In France it is very difficult to have the NAF, he takes a patient to make a complete USN pilot. I hope my photos will be able to please some you! Reagrds Laurent (France) Very impressive.
