Hello all, recently I've shifted my focus to USAAF B-17 crew equipment in order to make a display for my great uncle who was the radio operator in a B-17g during January of 1944. Before I go any further I want to give a tremendous thank you to AZPhil as without him I wouldn't even know where to start looking for information, he's answered question after question from me, and has helped me get in contact with the knowledgeable people over at the USMF. Now as the title says this is a salty B6 with snaps installed for use with the A-10A & A-10R or A-14 oxygen masks. There are also two large leather patches that are covering where ear cups might've been or are covering holes made to allow the use of a headset. Unfortunately the pictures weren't the clearest and I couldn't tell that it wasn't in great shape like I thought it was. It's not all bad though as it has a nice big USAAF decal on the back of it and with the modifications it means it was probably used by someone. Furthermore we all have had purchases that didn't pan out before its just the nature of collecting, hopefully a good one comes around soon! Thanks for reading.
