AAF officer's visor cap in chocolate felt with patent leather visor and chin straps..

 

Extremely clean US Army officer's visor cap, typical of the type favoured by AAF officers, with matching front and rear chin straps. The visor and chin straps are high gloss patent leather, perhaps indicating late war or possibly just after, but a lovely example nonetheless. The cap is doeskin felt of the dark green often referred to as "chocolate". A lovely example.

WWII AAF Far East Air Forces enlisted tunic.

​

OD wool tunic for an enlisted man with sergeant's stripes, overseas stripes and a wound stripe, plus US 6th Army patch to right sleeve and Far East Air Force patch to left sleeve. Air Corps collar badges and the "Ruptured Duck" patch complete the insignia. Jacket is in great condition, with a number inked inside and a stamping  for NY City Patrol Corps - perhaps suggesting the uniform was later worn by a security organization?

Superb Field Jacket, Wool, OD in size 38 with Master Sergeant stripes, 8 service stripes, 9th AF shoulder patch and nice clutch back aircrew wing as well as enlisted AAF collar devices. Excellent condition with very little wear – must have been his parade uniform!  No ID that I can find.

3rd AF enlisted airman's OD jacket with ID.

 

Excellent enlisted man's OD wool tunic with 3rd AF shoulder patch, sergeant's stripes, collar insignia and "ruptured duck". In excellent condition showing very light wear. As with most enlisted uniforms it is not names but does have a number inside. However, inside the top pocket were several forms of ID naming it to Braxton P. Gordon, at various ranks from corporal to sergeant to captain - so he was evidently commissioned in the field. Hard to beat for condition.

AAF Officer's tunic with superb felt XII Tactical Air  Command patch.

 

Standard AAF officer's tunic with collar devices and lieutenant's bars, plus superb feltXII Tactical Air Command patch to left upper arm.  This is one of the last OD AAF tunics made  before switching to blue: label inside pocket indicates 1947 production based on 1942 pattern. Lacks belt but of historic interest - and great patch!

AAF enlisted OD wool trousers.

 

One of the hardest uniform accessory items to find, because most were used and worn after the war. This pair, in a decent size (30 waist, 31 inside leg) are in unissued condition with no wear or damage that I can find. Great label dated 1943.  Very difficult to upgrade.

WWII AAF named Second Lieutenant's khaki service uniform MAAF.

 

Very good example of the khaki/summer weight overseas uniform jacket named to a Lieutenant serving with the Mediterranean Allied Air Forces. Good period winged props, US devices and "butter bar" insignia plus a nice MAAF shoulder patch. Clear evidence of a clutch back wing having been fitted. Named to James Morrison on the laundry tag pinned inside. I can find one pinhead sized moth nip in the shoulder (practically invisible). Jacket displays nicely and would be worthy of research.

Army Air Corps officer's 1930s uniform, named to a Major.

​

Interesting and unusual early Army Air Corps officer's uniform. Olive Drab gabardine wool with built-in belt, gilt buttons and a lovely pair of early winged propellor collar devices. Sadly all other insignia removed, though the impression of there they were is clear. Inside are two labels, one to the tailor in san Antoio, Texas, and the other a standard union label with the name of the office, which appears to be a major, though the last name is worn and difficult to read. Jacket is dusty, slightly grubby and has a few moth nips, but is definitely worthy of careful study and research. The lining is intriguing and appears at first glance to have been removed, yet it is neatly finished and sows no cutting or damage - it might even have had a button-in section. The winged props alone are worth most of the asking price.

AAF enlisted and named 20th AF OD wool 4-pocket tunic.

 

Unusual to find enlisted men's uniforms with names inside, which at least gives an opportunity for research. Overall good except for some moth damage near the waist (see photos).

AAF ATC Flight Officer's summer 4-pocket tunic.

 

Khaki summer weight 4-pocket AAF uniform tunic with "blue pickle" rank bars of a flight officer and pin back Air Transport Command DI's on both shoulders made by LeVelle & Co. and marked sterling. Pin back winged props and clutch back US collar dogs,  felt AAF patch to left upper arm. Evidence that a wing was attached to the breast. A very nice tunic with a couple of small moth nips to the right cuff area and 2 pin-head size holes to the back shoulder area.

WWII WAC Medic tunic, named and ID'd to Selman Field, training field for WASPs.

​

Far less common than men's uniforms, women's uniforms are identical except for the cut and the fact that they button left-over-right. This is a lovely example of a WAC medic tunic, with medical collar devices, major's rank insignia and felt AAF patch with Training Command shoulder flash. Named inside to E.B. McBee with her service number and Selman Field Exchange. Also has a fabulous personal monogram with the initials E.M. Selman Field was a training field for navigators and also for WASP pilots so it would make perfect sense for a female medic to be posted there. This is well worth further research. Excellent condition and quite scarce.

WWII US Army dress uniform jacket and trousers for a graduate of West Point.

​

Superb, high quality US Army dress uniform jacket and trousers for a graduating West Point cadet, purchased from the Cadet Store and named to R. J. Rogers. Dated 5.22.1939 that means he completed 

officer training before the war. The trousers have no markings that I can find. It would be very interesting to research his career and see where he finished up. Uniform is in excellent condition, and displays very well.

WWII US Army dress uniform trousers.

​

Superb, high quality US Army dress uniform  trousers named to Gibson USP 250. Trousers are seemingly always much more difficult to find than jackets, so for the collector who needs a pair to display with a dress tunic, this is as good a pair as you will find. All wool and correct for the WWII period.

AAF Glider Pilot / Troop Carrier 4-pocket tunic, named with fantastic bullion Glider Pilot wing.

 

USAAF officer's style 4-pocket tunic, made in San Antonio and named to James B. Reed who must have bought the uniform while training at Hondo, Texas, Class 44-8. Lovely bullion glider pilot wing and felt AAF shoulder patch, plus 1st Troop Carrier DIs on both epaulettes together with enamel Flight Officer "blue pickle" insignia. Once he completed his training and graduated as a Glider pilot he will have received a commission so to find a tunic still with the "blue pickles" and the wing attached is quite unusual.  Some moth damage to left lower sleeve and skirt of tunic which does not detract too much. Definitely worth researching.

AAF enlisted tunic to sergeant with theatre made CBI patch and Army Airways Communication System DIs.

 

USAAF enlisted man's 4-pocket tunic with beautiful theatre made CBI patch to left sleeve and Army Airways Communication System DIs worn on the lapels. Also retains his medal ribbons and "Ruptured Duck" badge. No trace of a name or label or any other identifying information inside the tunic, which has a few small moth holes here and there, but nothing too serious. A nice, untouched jacket.

Lovely example of a transitional AAF to USAF green uniform for an officer who flew in WWII with the 12th Reconnaissance Squadron.

 

OD gabardine wool 4 pocket tunic, tailored in 1949 (2 years after the AAF became the USAF and were supposed to change to wearing blue!). Has a superb WWII bullion embroidered bombardier wing, 20th AF shoulder patch and matched pair of 12 Recon. Sqdn. DIs (pinback, by Dondero of Washington DC). Has USAF buttons but in gold instead of silver. Very large size, named inside to Lt. Applebaum. All WWII insignia (except the buttons). Rare to find examples of good uniforms from this period of transition.

WWII US Navy officer's cap with superb multi-piece badge.

​

Lovely example of a lightweight US Navy officer's white top cap, in excellent condition, though lacking the leather sweatband (easily replaced but not necessary for display). White cotton top, patent leather leather peak with green checkerboard backing and light basketwork frame. Its best feature however, is the stunning, heavy multi-piece badge with embroidered label to back indicating Hillborn & Hamburger, Inc. of New York. A lovely cap marked size 7-1/4.

Excellent and unissued example of a US Army enlisted man's sidecap, summer version in unlined tan cotton, with a superb QM label dated March 14, 1940 and in a huge size 7-5/8.  This is the exact type worn by all Army Air Corps enlisted personnel. Hard to find in this size and condition.
