I'm loving the Major's uniform. Looks like he is sporting an 8th AF patch.
Thank you for sharing your friends wonderful collection.
I would need to wear a drool cup!!

+1 Cheers very nice to see. Would look great with a '41 jacket.

This is one of my USAAF caps, with about the crudest peak I have ever seen. Had to get it!
When I first saw it, I thought it might be a theatre-made job, perhaps Indian, but was surprised to find it is a Bancroft Flighter!
The grease-proofing has been removed and even the label torn out of the crown in an effort to make it super-lightweight and breathable.
This example has a wonderful shape... it just pours off the head.
Manufactured by United Hatters & Millinery Workers, it has a very nice chocolate brown peak and chinstrap.
A couple of fabulous caps Kohima.
