Hi All,
Here are my interesting IJA Aviation related collections that I got last month.
I've never seen anything like them before. They are very nice references.
Cheers!

1.) IJA Pilot' s Private Purchase Personnel Kit Bag.
Similar to the IJN issed pilot's kit bag, had three separate storage section. The difference is the belt/ buckle fastener. Two on one side, and one on the other side.
There are writings on the bag, without them I would n 't know a thing.
Translations:
六十五期操縦學生 (Roku-Jyuugo Ki Soujyuu Gakusei) - 65th Period Pilot Student
竹入伍長 (Takeiri Go-Chou) - Corporal Takeiri
His name was also written on the diamond shaped belt "roots".
A single piece of paper was inside the bag as a bonus. Came off from some kind of an aviation related book.
