      Plenty of info is available online on the USCG icebreaker 'Northwind". Your small "Vulcan" was originally 1/2 of a "His / Hers" matched box set.

      There are thé leather tabs for the oxygen mask on your H3. But i don 't see oxygen mask on corsair pilot photos during thé Korean war . Maybe only ground attack and straffing missions ?

      The inside of that helmet looks awfully clean. Might not be the one he wore on deployment. I know mine is still quite disgusting haha   Neat grouping though!  I think this is the first desert storm one I have ever seen. Nice find.

      Hi all,   Received this in the mail recently from a vintage clothes shop in Thailand. For those of you don’t know, I am vehemently against people using original uniforms (regardless of era) as a fashion statement.    Anyway, it is far from the greatest condition, but it has a neat feature I have never seen in person. On the left breast there are little loops of thread sewn on for (what I assume to be) a ribbon bar. I occasionally see period pictures of men wearing ribbons and badges on field jackets, so its neat to have in hand. It reminds me very much of badge loops on German uniforms from WWII.

      . First Normandy Trip 1973.   1973 was my first Jeeping trip to Normandy, there was far less to see than there is today, I brought my Jeep and a passenger along and did quite some mileage, even driving up to Bastogne and back.   Visiting the museum at Utah beach back in 1973 they were selling original militaria German, American, British etc.  and no touristy trinkets, I bought this British made patch can't recall now what I paid but being British made on felt then it turned out to be a decent buy .       Norman D. Landing, Forum Normandy Correspondent, June 15  2O25.    ….

      The gunner is named and someone on the Militaria forum Facebook page was able to give me his full name and serial number, so its a start for research

      There were actually two military vehicles at the show. This was far and away my favorite!  Strange though, P-51 fighters look much larger in period photographs.

      I was just informed that author Michael F. Tucker has passed away. He was a pioneer in writing many reference books to include Shoulder Patches in Vietnam, the Combat Infantryman's Badge, US Hat Badges, and several Third Reich insignia books.   He will be greatly missed.   Leigh
