jerry_k Posted December 13, 2013 Share #284 Posted December 13, 2013 Hi! Here my new small USMC aviator display. I decided to made some cleaining in my collection and sold some stuff, better or worse, always not enough money to have everything:( Here is first part which I keep. USMC pilot person from Solomons Islands campaign. His standard web gear included a KA-BAR knife, USMC canteen cover, gear belt, ammo pouch, first aid pouch and compass pouch. A holster is typical .45 1911 Colt private purchase holster rigger made modified with chest strap and extra ammo pouch. Here is a little bit more information about his flight gear: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/61639-usnavy-pilot/page-13 Start at post: 255 Enjoy, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerry_k Posted February 25, 2014 Share #286 Posted February 25, 2014 Hi Folks! As always a new year is a good time of hunting stuff... I was able to find some new rigger made stuff: First is a nice tobacco pouch modified to carry ammunition. Pouch is with rubber waterproof material inside and have a nice rigger added belt loop at the back. Zipper is talon. I got it with ammo but life bullet have to stay at seller house. Pouch was in bigger grouping belong to Frank P. Simrik VF-13 pilot. Second item is a nice interesting rigger made signal pouch for Very's Shells (from M592 survival kit). Pouch is made from parachute pack canvas with elastic tape (probably also used in parachute pack, too heavy for goggle strap) and CARR snaps. Pouch hold a 6 Very's Shells, protector and two extra 02 cartridge for life vest (last two loops are a little bit smaller). I noticed also similar construction pouch only for 6 Very's Shells. Pouch could be stored into flight pocket or attached to the life vest waist strap. I added complete pouch from GM Bell collection. I have to get a Very's Shells from my storage box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted February 25, 2014 Share #287 Posted February 25, 2014 Last item is killer rigger/machinist made pilot note pad. Leg strap is made from goggle strap with hanger from parachute bangie cord. The very good point is that note pad came with pencil made by Van Dyke Eberhard Faber pencil company which made pencil stuff since 1930s. I hope You enjoy it. The best regards, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazelot Posted February 25, 2014 Share #288 Posted February 25, 2014 Those are fantastic items Jerry. I lose rigger modified stuff!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72psb Posted February 25, 2014 Share #289 Posted February 25, 2014 A little interesting side note on your Faber pencil. The Faber firm was located near Nurenburg,Germany.The Faber Castel was used to house the Lawyers and War Correspondents during the War Crimes Trials. I may be confused on this one,but I believe Faber was indicted and tried for producing the gas used in the concentration camps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBookGuy Posted March 3, 2014 Share #291 Posted March 3, 2014 A huge Compliments to all the collectors of these wonders - I join now the USMF.

jerry_k Posted March 4, 2014 Share #292 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi Franco. Thanks for comments! Please share with us any of US NAVY or USMC aviation stuff from WW2! Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Share #293 Posted March 4, 2014 hello Jerry, yes hope to post my pilots. Actually there were 8-9 full sized pilots in my collection from 1944 to 1990, US and not. Do not know if posting all together in one new sub-forum (what one?), or some other way. To next one! Franco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted March 4, 2014 Share #294 Posted March 4, 2014 Hi! Now put some photos on forum is hard and limit of size photo is very painfull... I try to put photos by No_outside_hosting but now it is not free... I have to find another one web tool to upload photos... Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted March 4, 2014 Share #295 Posted March 4, 2014 I remember, the photobucket is the best for upload a more photos! Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Share #296 Posted March 4, 2014 hello, yes I'm doing the re-sizing under 150 KB. My WW2 complete mannequinn pilots are: * one AAF P-38 guy, tropical asset, late 1944, this 100% complete * one USMC F4U pilot embarked on carrier, springtime 1945, late wartime look (less common as for some items). This less the QAS harness, otherwise complete. look forwarsd in posting the pics. Regards, Franco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Share #297 Posted March 4, 2014 Will try tomorrow, maybe better if starting a new discussion in the generic "Flight Clothing", something like titled " WW2 AAF and USN life-sized Pilots, from Italy"? Could regard both of them, here we are in the USN (or USMC) aviator topic. Franco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted March 4, 2014 Share #298 Posted March 4, 2014 Remember that here we post only a USN and USMC aviation stuff:)! Cheers, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueBookGuy Posted March 4, 2014 Share #299 Posted March 4, 2014 thanks Jerry, yes best will be a new topic elsewhere. Also I'll exploit this to ask you or other experts whether one of the two dye markers worn by my Corsair guy is correct. It's a three hollow rivets specimen, similar to the subsequent ones but still the ties are cloth-mede (not nylon). Think this the only point with still some doubts, all the rest is OK. (but you will have an idea by seeing the pics). Definitely I was more keen in AAF or modern USAF and USN aviator's gear. That F4U pilot was my only WW2 naval guy, so I decided to go toward a late wartime pilot having (a few) more unusual features. OK thanks again, to next one. Franco.
