ORIGINAL PERIOD . . . A PAIR OF EARLY WORLD WAR 2 PHOTOGRAPHS . . . TENTH ARMY AIR FORCE BOMBER PILOTS WEARING SHEEPSKIN . . . FLYING UNIFORMS IN THE "C.B.I." THEATER OF WAR . . . FLYING FROM ROYAL AIR FORCE AIRFIELD DUBJAN INDIA . . . TO KUNMING YUNNAN CHINA . The "Hump" was the nickname of the world's tallest mountain range the Himalayas given by U.S. Army Air Force pilots. They flew bomber planes loaded with cargo to Kunming China in the C.B.I. China Burma & India theaters of World War 2 Asia. . The "Hump" was the one and only way to support the "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later known as the famous "FLYING TIGERS" created and commanded by Major General Claire L. Chennault. . The flight from India at high-altitude in freezing aircraft temperatures required sheepskin flying uniforms. These bulky but warm flight jackets trousers and boots protected the flight crew from freezing to death. . The frequent bomber flights provided Chennault with the material to prosecute the air war against the Japanese air force: gasoline ammunition food rations medical supplies and other necessities. There was no land route to Kunming as the Japanese military forces had cut off western China from all allied support. . The two photographs were most likely taken at the Royal Air Force airfield at Dinjan India just prior to take off. The flightcrew consisted of: pilot co-pilot navigator and a relief flier. . The first photograph the larger shows four airmen in sheepskin flight uniforms. The smaller phototograph shows a pilot in typical sheepskin flight uniform: jacket trousers boots with his parachute attached to his back ready for take off to Kunming. .

UNIQUE OBSCURE EARLY 1940'S . . . A PAIR OF EARLY WORLD WAR 2 PHOTOGRAPHS . . . SHOWS TWO U.S.A.A.F. 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. These were part of a group of photographs from a "FLYING TIGERS" U.S.A.A.F. member's collection of duty while stationed in Kunming Yunnan China 1942-1943. . The larger shows a pilot immediately after landing standing on the right wing inspecting two large "flack" holes in the aircraft skin during air to air combat against the Japanese air force. . 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. He stands on the wing with one leg inside the cockpit getting ready for take off. He holds a camera in his right hand. .

U.S. AAF ARMY AIR FORCE OFFICER PILOT DRESS "CRUSHER" CAP.Original World War
New York 1940 Hunt. U.S. Army Air Force Officer pilot's cap olive drab mohair wool extra fine high-quality leather visor chin-strap brass buttonslarge brass eagle insignia very good condition complete worn by Americans dated.RARE . . . . VERY RARE DATED 1940 OFFICER'S "CRUSHER" CAP . . . OLIVE DRAB GREEN 100% MOHAIR WOOL AND LEATHER . . . WORN BY "A.V.G. "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" & . . . "FLYING TIGERS" THROUGHOUT WORLD WAR 2 IN CHINA & BURMA . This is a very good used example of the Officer Pilot U.S. Army Air Force mohair wool & all leather cap. . CRUSHER STYLE A.A.F. ARMY AIR FORCE CAP: The cap is often called "crusher" type since it was used by aviators wearing headphones. The hat could also be folded and put in the pocket when necessary without damage. The visor and chin-strap are of brown calf leather with out damage firmly in place with two expandable tabs and a small buckle at the back for expansion. This cap was very popular and worn from the beginning of World War II by U.S. A.A.F. Army Air Force pilots and crew members. The main difference being in the quality of the wool cover. The high quality finely woven mohair type was issued to officers while the rougher more course weave was wool was for the enlisted crew members. . The steel band that goes inside the wool cover accompanies this cap to make it a 'crusher' pilots removed this item to allow the outside top edges of the cap to be loose and allow the wear to use earphones over this cap. The buyer can use this cap either way. . THE EAGLE EMBLEM AT THE TOP: There were various makers of the cap and the hardware. Each maker made a slightly variant emblem of the eagle clutching sheaves of grain and arrows with an eagle in the center with a round disk showing 13 stars surrounded by a field of flowers. While the subject of the emblem remains virtually the same the exact style varied with makers as did the style of the eagle's wings. Some were more open in a "V" shape others more closed or vertical in a "V" shape. . THE HUNT CO. HUNT NEW YORK MAKER: Inside the leather brim is some black printed information we hope it was correctly read some letters are less than clear: "June 29 1940 qm 278 SPEC. O.Q.D. No. 595 STOCK No. 73-F-2111 Q.M. P.O.N.Y." . This example was made in Hunt New York by an unstated company. The usual plastic head liner is missing it was the usual place to carry the maker's name. Elsewhere we found "Hunt New York most likely this was the Hunt Co. product. .

WORLD WAR 2 PHOTOGRAPH OF "FLYING TIGER" PERSONNEL IN THE MESS HALL KUNMING YU
Kunming circa 1943-1944. Large glossy photograph of U.S.A. A.F. "FLYING TIGERS" at chow in Kunming 19.4 x 24 cm. with red grease pencil:"CHOW DELUXE" in lower left corner shows U.S. personnel in the chow hall. ORIGINAL PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH . . . . A RARE ORIGINAL 1942-1944 ERA BLACK & WHITE PHOTOGRAPH . . . SHOWS "FLYING TIGER" PERSONNEL AT CHOW . . . IN KUNMING YUNNAN CHINA . The "A.V.G." AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later known as the famous "FLYING TIGERS" were concieved of and commanded by Major General Claire L. Chennault. This group was part of the "C.B.I." 'CHINA BURMA & INDIA' theater of World War 2 in Asia. . After July 1942 the command was renamed the Tenth Army Air Force A.A.F. Their headquarters were in Kunming Yunnan province western China. . The Kunming chow hall was basic: with Chinese-made rough wood tables chairs porcelain covered tin plates with many dings and broken edges per the photograph and U.S. Army utencils. . The superb and early photograph shows several "FLYING TIGERS" at chow. The food was simple but plentyful: local fried chicken rice bread brown & white walnuts green vegetables peanuts bananas grapes apples salt pepper & rice gruel soup. This "Chow Deluxe" was a later development in Kunming after the barracks and mess hall were built by the Chinese. . The personnel wear the typical "U.S. ARMY AIR FORCE" gold wings against a blue back ground round right-shoulder patch. On the left shoulder is the "C.B.I." unit patch in blue white & red. See photos posted to our website especially for the soldier in illus01.jpg who wears the above two patches. . Several personnel wear olive drab shirt and trousers khaki shirt and trousers and officer's khaki tunics. Mechanics clerks aircraft maintenence and other support people populate the mess hall. . Seldom found genuine original period photographs of the "FLYING TIGERS" are RARE. This example appears to be a newspaper press photograph typically they used red grease pencil to highlight titles subjects or important images for pre-publication emphasis by editiors. . . unknown

Kunming 192-1944. A black & white photograph very clean & excellent image no fading sheet size: 6.5 x 10.2 cm.image size: 5.4 x 5.4 cm. glossy paper strong image. VERY RARE ORIGINAL PERIOD PHOTOGRAPH . . . . A VERY RARE ORIGINAL 1942-1944 PHOTOGRAPH . . . SHOWING AN AMERICAN TECHNICAL SERGEANT TRAINING . . . CHINESE AIR FORCE MECHANICS . . . ON CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK PROPELLER MAINTENANCE . . The "A.V.G." "AMERICAN VOLUNTEER GROUP" later well known as the "FLYING TIGERS" were created and commanded by Major General Clarie L. Chennault headquarters in Kunming Yunnan China. . The "A.V.G." and "FLYING TIGERS" were part of the "C.B.I." "CHINA BURMA & INDIA" theater of World War 2 in Asia. Their personnel in the early years was limited to 300 volunteers. Aircraft maintenance was critical and American mechanics were less than what was needed. . Chennault requested of Mme. and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek the assistance of Chinese Air Force mechanics to service the CURTISS P-40 TOMAHAWK fighter plane used to prosecute the air war against the Japanese air force. . To that end Chinese mechanics came to Kunming for training and aircraft service assistance. Under Chennault the GSS GENERAL STAFF SCHOOL a training course designed for Chinese Air Force mechanics was undertaken. . This photograph is a very rare original example of an American technical sergeant training five Chinese mechanics. They are under a make-shift roof against the barracks at the Kunming airport headquarters of the "FLYING TIGERS." . This exact brick structure appears in several other period photographs of this and other similar buildings used to house and feed Army Air Force personnel. A Chinese officer at the immediate far right looks on as the class progresses. . The technical sergeant holds a P-40 propeller part with other related parts and tools on the training table. There is another aircraft part resting on the floor near the table leg. . In the background tacked to the brick wall is a training chart showing a blow-up of other P-40 parts. . The five Chinese Air Force students wear khaki shirt shorts with a name tag on each. Most wear wrist watches a symbol of some affluence during the sparse years of the 1937 Sino-Japanese war. They wear no rank or other identifying military badges. . CONDITION: The photograph is very clean with excellent focus and registry no fading or other blemishes on glossy paper. . RARITY: Photographs of American soldiers training Chinese soldiers are RARE. This excellent example shows the actual process of the training class. . REFERENCES: .
