Imperial Japanese Navy Petty Officer's summer cap.
​
Very scarce white cotton summer cap for a Petty Officer in the Imperial Japanese Navy. Slightly yellowed but no damage and overall a great looking cap. The cap has a quilted soft peak and matching chinstrap, and is laced at the back for a secure fit. A single row of black silk indicates rank and black on white woven anchor badge is sewn to the front.

WWII era French Air Force Flight Medic/Rescue Pilot uniform jacket.
Tunic from a Medic/Rescue Pilot (IPSA: Infirmière Pilote Secours de l'Air). The IPSA were created in 1934, trained as both medics and pilots in order to treat, evacuate and transport wounded soldiers (as pilots and nurses - this is a pilot since it has the wings). After WWII IPSA took part in both the Indochina and the Algerian War. Though identical to early examples, this tunic was most likely made between 1945 and 1950. Nonetheless a rare and interesting uniform jacket.

Royal Saudi Arabian Air Force Tropical Combat Coat.
An unusual US Air Force "Man's Tropical Combat Coat" issued to a member of the Royal Saudi Arabian Air Force for joint operations in the Persian Gulf. 1980s. Great patches. This is not my area of interest or expertise but it's a good looking named jacket which might be worth researching and certainly belongs in any Gulf War collection.
