Jason, I do not wish to be contacted by you, so please lay off, both here and via PM's. This was not a For Sale post. Thank you.

What about the helmet? Fixed bail with buckles that connect to liner.   so the liner is late 44?   so my next question is, if Westinghouse liners were used on D-Day, what were they equipped with?

Any fat buckle Westinghouse M1C liner is going to be late war 44-45. The wire buckle is 45-post war?. The one in the photo is good. That helmet is another matter. Better photos of that chinstrap bail set up would be needed.

US NAVY , Damage Control buckle recently sold.

Killer flag! Hopefully you can trace back some names. Being attached to the 28th is pretty cool as well, wonder where it was captured?

Rats, this is not the link I wanted to direct you too, my bad!    

Thanks for the feedback. My own research shows some indication that this B.Bunny emblem may have been an early war design for this unit, but I've yet to find any evidence to support this.Two written requests to the Warner Studios have gone unanswered. I've attached the design for the 435thFtrSqdn/479thFtrGp/EighthAF on file at AFHRA and approved 20 Mar 1945.
