Description
After an American M1 combat helmet with an ace of spades tucked into the strap
Thomas Holcomb
It may very well have seen service in one or some of the great Cavalry actions of this conflict
fought to capture an airstrip on the small coral island of Peleliu
so the cap or the whole rig was replaced at some point with a later model from the same maker
Original U.S. WWII Army Air Forces “Get That Fighter” Air Gunner Training Manual - Possibly Named to KIA Gunner Vickers MMG After an American M1 combatOriginal Item. Only One Available. This is an outstanding example of the scarce Get That Fighter manual meant to train aerial gunners in the AAF on taking down enemy fighters which threaten the lives of every man aboard your B 17 B 25 etc. The imagery in the manual is very attractive and would have been very effective in teaching aerial gunners the correct way to defend your aircraft. The manual measures 4 x 6 and is named on the interior MCGINLEY, C.
