Most items are dated 1967. The ONLY velcro are the strips on the legs of the G-Suit, (probably added later). Everything else is zippers and snaps.
I corresponded with Hans Wind, Finland's 2nd highest scoring fighter ace of WWII some years ago... this is a list of the aircraft he shot down. I was inquiring about the effectiveness of the American Lend-Lease aircraft supplied to the Soviets (Wind underlined on list). Wind was shot down but survived by a P-39 Airacobra, which ended the war for Hans Wind.
The picture shows what Dowding once called his fighter boys.
Four pilots posing in front of a Hawker Hurricane as they would have done in 1940, looking up at the sky at a possible battle taking place. They are members of the OPS 1939-45 team who regularly attend air show displaying the dress and actions of the period.
The Hurricane is part of the Historic Aircraft Collection which can normally be seen with its stable mate Spitfire Vb BM 597.
Give to my wife more than 10 years ago by her ex-boss, Susan Olds, who is the daughter to Hollywood glamour actress, Ella Raines. It's an elegant & sophisticated camera, with a curious military related sticker inside. Recently, I realized that Susan Olds' father is the famous American fighter pilot & brigadier general "Tripple Ace" Robin Olds. Thus, it must have been purchased at the military base and presented as a gift to his beautiful and beloved wife!

What a find! Authentic WW2 Luftwaffe fighter pilot's leather jacket. Belonged to an Oberst, and has a beautiful BSW Austrian pilot's badge and Iron Cross 1st Class.
Photographed at the Star Wars and the Power of Costume exhibit displayed at the EMP Museum in Seattle, WA.
A Marine flyer since 1935, Colonel Gregory “Pappy” Boyington was encouraged to resign his commission to fly with the Flying Tigers in China. There he got credit for six Japanese planes. But when he applied for reinstatement in the Marine Corps, he found himself disgraced for “having left the Corps in time of national emergency.” For nearly three months he parked cars in a Seattle garage until, in desperation, he telegraphed an Under Secretary of the Navy. In a few days he was on the way to the South Pacific where he was given a squadron of misfits. These pilots, unwanted by other outfits, and led by the oldest active Marine fighter pilot, made one of the great records of the war. The heart of this book is the colorful story of Boyington’s Black Sheep Squadron.
“Pappy” Boyington was a wild, hard drinking, professional Marine flyer who was one of the most unconventional heroes of World War II. As wild and independent as he was, he was a competent leader of men and had no desire to change his ways. He had never let anyone kick him around, and he saw no reason why he should let the Japanese do so in the air or after he was taken prisoner.
Winner of a Congressional Medal of Honor and a Navy Cross for his achievements while leading the Black Sheep Squadron, “Pappy” Boyington had twenty months as a prisoner of the Japanese in which to gain emotional maturity and sobriety. He freely admitted that during the nearly two years he spent as a P.O.W. his health improved due to the enforced sobriety. He retired from the Marine Corps on August 1, 1947.
Many people know of Pappy Boyington from the mid-1970s television show Baa Baa Black Sheep, a drama about the Black Sheep squadron based very loosely on Boyington's memoir, with Boyington portrayed by Robert Conrad. Many of Boyington's men were irate over this show, charging it was mostly fiction and presented a glamorized portrayal of Boyington. Boyington himself often told interviewers and audiences that the television series was fiction and only loosely related to actual history. Here is a 1970’s interview with Boyington and the actor who portrayed him on television, Robert Conrad.

This Air Force Captain spends her time at NAS Fallon chasing the NAVY flyers around the skies of Nevada. She was very popular at the air races, especially with the young people...especially the girls.
This is part of a very striking monument on the Thames Embankment in London, which commemorates The Battle of Britain. Many striking (and poignant) scenes are visible. It was the first time I had seen it, having opened in September 2005..
