PILOTS: FIGHTER & BOMBER . . * This is a pair of early 1940's black and white photographs of United States Army Air Force [U.S.A.A.F.] pilots.

The American pilot wears the typical flight A.A.F. uniform of the period: leather flight cap, with earphones, flight goggles, leather flight jacket, heavy duty trousers, boots and his parachute. . Near the tail are twin 50 caliber machine guns in the turret, typical of the weapons on U.S. bombers. .* The smaller photograph shows a fighter pilot, wearing his sheepskin flight jacket, flight jumpsuit, flight boots and he is wearing his parachute.
