Hi Guys

Sorry for the poor quality of the photos - but they were taken at a museum.

I was visiting the defense Museum in Bornholm, where they had this helmet displayed.

Where the Windhunde stationed in Bornholm at the end of the war ? and isn´t the helmet a civilian helmet?

Kind regards

Another AAF tunic I acquired recently, from the same source as the two 8th AAF tunics (a local dealer), but this jacket
wasn’t one that came from the Belgian collector who picked the others up just after the war, I think this was from another
source who traded it, but a lovely summer tan tunic for a senior pilot, who served with the 10th AAF (the 10th served in Australia,
India and Burma during WW2), they originally flew B-17E’s with the 7th Bombardment Group, and later flew B-24’s.

I have a lovely tan crusher to go with this one (it wasn’t originally with the jacket) but it does go nicely with it.
(I posted some further photos of the crusher cap in the headgear section).

Another recent addition to my small USAAF collection, was this nice aircrew EM’s SSGT 8th AAF 4 pocket service tunic,
and I think rather nice with a bullion aircrew set of wings. It would have had a reasonable ribbon bar at some stage too,
but this was gone, and as I don’t have anything to put there at present, I added the single ribbon for a bit of colour.
The rest of the tunic is exactly how it was picked up by a Belgian civilian who scored it in 1946 or 47!!
