Flight Gear
flying clothing and equipment of the US army air forces in Europe
1942-45
Quatrième de couverture
Us army air forces aviators in Europe
This new book is designed as a guide to the flight clothing and equipment issued to American airmen in Europe, from August 1942 (the first bombing mission over France) to May 1945.
Hundreds of period photographs and hundreds of detailed pictures of surviving artefacts are included for the first time, introducing the reader to the evolution of this equipment, from the early use of British items, to local modifications, up to the latest technical breakthroughs.
In the final chapter, 25 full-colour reconstructions illustrate the various guises of these airmen, who liberated Europe from the sky.
