    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.

    That's exactly what it means. You take hold of the strap to lift what's inside out of where it was. Dead, injured, wounded removed from vehicle/boat/etc. Especially when whatever is inside the clothing can't assist, or more gory.

    Issued to armored crew members. Used for pulling injured/unconscious crew out of tanks/armored vehicles.

    Almost the same as a flight jacket except for the strap. In fact, we as flight crew were issued the “tanker” jacket when stocks of the flight jacket wasn’t available.

    We’re talking US Army aviators, not Air Force.

    For a while, the original 2 piece flight suit was also issued as tankers uniforms. 1980s

    No they aren't, those are for extracting wounded from situations when they can't help. You use them to drag a man across the open or haul him vertical right out of an armored hatch. You sound like a surplus store owner that perhaps hears too much rumor from his clients.
