    Late 1950- 60s Jacket and Nav instruments

    Here's the jacket my Dad used while flying B-52s over the arctic with the big one. The instruments he told me he used while flying a small blue twin called the T-bird out of Whiteman AFB in which he had a landing gear malfunction with no warning until he hit the runway and the sparks gave it away. Yes it was a night landing.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Those N-2B's, or the newer version (might have changed nomenclature, but they look essentially the same) are still issued.

    I was deployed with a guy who'd been at Minot before he PCS'd to Englandicon and then deployed as soon as he got there (yeah, messed up body clock!) and he had 2 just like that.

    Did it have the real fur? My dad had a hat that I wore in the snow at Whiteman it was made of wool had the fur and I think you tied it (no snaps) . I have the modern ones they don't itch like that old one did.
