The jacket itself is a London tailors made piece, with red lining and named to the inside pocket with the initials ‘K.W.G’ on a ‘Raman, of New Bond Street London label’. complete with original insignia, featuring a British made 8th Airforce patch, silver senior pilot wings maker marked ‘Meyer, New York’ and the rank of Lieutenant Colonel to the epaulettes. The USAAF collar badges are in situ, held in place with pin and catch or early Phinney type clutch backs. Six, ‘six months’ overseas bars don the lower left arm. Below the wings are the medal ribbons denoting, DFC, Air Medal with Oakleaves, American Campaign Medal, EAME and what appears to be the Asiatic-Pacific Medal? The Distinguished Unit Citation is upon the right chest, which the 353rd was awarded in September 1944. The tunic has seen some sunlight damage, due to slight change of green shade across parts of the blouse, but not particularly noticeable. Lt Col K Gallup mainly flew with the 353rd fighter group, firstly assigned as Group Ops officer in May 1944, until becoming the 350th FS commander. He would become an ‘ace’ whilst flying P-47’s mainly ‘Rat A Dat’ and shooting down 9 confirmed air victories, 2 ground targets and sharing 2 others. The 353rd FG flew from Metfield and then Raydon in Suffolk from April 1944, they were heavily involved in all the major European campaigns, Normandy, Market Garden and the Bulge. Kenneth Gallup would also service in the Korean war and retire in 1965 as a Colonel. Accompanying this blouse, is some research paperwork, a book ‘American eagles’ featuring a colour plate of Gallup’s aircraft, and a signed paper sheet by Kenneth Gallup himself. A great piece of USAAF / 8th Air Force history.

WW2 USAAF Officers ETO Jacket, British Made, A lovely British made Officers ETO jacket, originally patched up to an officer of the ‘USSTAF’ or ‘United States Strategic Air Forces’. A very nicely done example of an ETO officers’ jacket in which the tapes on the lower arms are present adding to this one’s slightly more unique appearance, adding to that most of these jackets had a button fastening cuff. Clutch back style ‘props & wings’ badges are present on each lapel. Unfortunately, the rank on the epaulettes has since been removed. Judging by the ghosting, they look to have been an embroidered type of Major’s or Lt Col’s leaves. The USSTAF patch sits on the left upper arm. Complete with classic British, wartime period buttons and a tailor’s label, ‘Jones Chalk & Dawson’ of Sackville St, Piccadilly to the inside pocket. Some mothing is present on the lapel and collar, but in no means distracting it from being a very nice period USAAF tunic.

WW2 British Airborne Troops Mk.II Helmet, A good clean example of a British Mk.II airborne troops helmet. Dated 1944 to the leather sweat band and the size 6 ½. ‘BMB’ sits above the date, identifying the manufacture of ‘Briggs Motor Bodies’. The leather work is in exceptional condition with all of its foam padding intact as well as the centre crown pad. The chin strap with blackened buckles and leather chin piece is present. Unlike many of these airborne helmets, this one is still in its factory finish of OD green with a only a patch of rusting appearing through. A camo net completes the helmet. A fine helmet fit for any British airborne collection.

American B-17 Pilots Uniform and Paperwork Archive of Captain Gerald T Smith DFC, 332nd Bomber Squadron of 94th Bomb Group US 8th Air Force, the comprehensive grouping relating to Cpt Gerald T Smith, Pilot, 332nd BS/94th BG. This excellent grouping consists of his full uniform, officers class A’s with shirt, tie and officers garrison cap as well as his A2 flying jacket. The medals, of which are still cased and a very large quantity of paperwork and photos. The officers class A tunic is good clean condition featuring its full insignia with sterling pilot wings, clutch back ‘US’ tabs and ‘Props’, Captain rank badges to the epaulettes, English made 8th air force badge to the right shoulder and the USAAF patch to the left. Common in these cases to have the previous serving air force patch applied to the opposite shoulder, probably in this case, due to returning home and serving in a training unit. Medal ribbons of the DFC, Air Medal and EAME sit nicely below the wings. The trousers or ‘Pinks’ are in good condition with the brass officers type buckled belt. The shirt with collar rank still present and US made 8th Air Force patch applied and period issue tie. His garrison cap with Captain rank badge in situ is in good condition with the black and gold USAAF piping. The A2 is a private purchase example, with good strong leather and working ‘talon’ zip in which a whistle hangs from. Captain Smith’s DFC and Air medals that accompany this lot are in their black presentation cases, both of which have the ribbon bar and button-hole badge in each. In the blue card boxes, are the American campaign medal, the victory medal and the EAME medal plus a spare set of 3in sterling pilot wings. The paperwork side of this grouping is what makes this lot special, detailing most of Gerald Smiths time with the air force from joining up to post war service. His wartime experiences with the 332nd Bomb Squadron of the 94th Bomb Group, based at Rougham, are fascinating, having Photos of two signed members of Geralds crew, ‘Upton’ his navigator and ‘McCormick’ his bombardier. Other pieces include general order extracts, informing Gerald of his DFC awarded on the 8th December 1943 for extraordinary achievement on the 18th oct 1943 on bringing back his stricken B17 ‘Little Sir Echo’ and crash landing it into a field, in Lydden, Near Dover, Kent, without harm to the crew. This is the second time Gerald made a forced landing, before a landing in the channel in July 1943. He would go on to complete a tour of 25 operational missions over enemy territory and receive an oak leaf to his DFC, of which is still attached to the extract letter, dated 16th Dec 1943. Overall, a fantastic collection of pieces relating to a B-17 pilot in the 8th Air Force. Viewing highly recommended due to the large collection of paperwork in which can’t be described in full here.

The ribbons of the ’39-45’ Star and the ‘France & Germany’ Star sit upon the chest. Overall, the blouse is in fairly good condition, its only fault is the collar hooks have rusted over time and stained some of the lining.

Mixed Services Organisation (MSO) British Army of the Rhine / 21st Army Group Battle Dress Blouse, good example of an early post WW2 battle dress blouse in black wool, with woven ‘M.S.O’ shoulder titles above 21st army group formation signs and an unusual four bar rank patch in silver thread. Interior with issue label. The Mixed Service Organisation (MSO) was a civilian arm of the British Army of the Rhine (BAOR) which employed displaced persons as drivers, clerks, mechanics and guards. Originally formed as Watchman and labour units in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War the MSO employed citizens of Eastern European nations occupied by the Soviets. These former prisoners of war, concentration camp inmates and forced labourers were left in western sectors of occupied Germany at the end of the war and chose not to return to their countries of origin. Whilst some displaced persons only worked with the organisation for a short time others stayed until retirement age. The MSO was organised in a structure similar to British Colonial Units, with a British Commanding Officer and senior Non-commissioned officers operating over a 'native' officer and NCO structure.

The Khaki crowns on the epaulettes denoting the rank of Major are backed on the Royal Artillery red cloth. The blouse is a good wartime example, with minor sun bleaching to the right arm. The label inside shows it to be of 1945 manufacture and a large size of ‘15’ ink stamped with the W/I\D and ‘Z’ for 45.

WW2 British ARP Overalls, being a fine example of an early pattern of the blue work overalls worn by members of the ARP during WW2, this type being without the leg pocket.

WW2 British 3rd Infantry Division Battle Dress Blouse, Pioneer Corps, Austerity battle dress blouse as badged to a Sergeant of the Pioneer Corps in the 3rd infantry division. Printed titles to each shoulder and a ‘combination’ patch of the 3rd Inf Division patch with the arm of service stripe below, sown onto a separate piece of serge before being applied to the blouse, a common wartime practice. The insignia is quite worn and discoloured by the sun. One of the AoS stripes is applied the wrong way around, not an uncommon error seen on BD. Printed Sgt stripes have been applied to each arm. The blouse itself has unfortunately seen better days, suffering from heavy mothing and creating large holes in the serge. The label in situ shows it to be a size 13, 1943 dated and made by ‘Town Tailors Ltd’. A mixture of different button across the blouse and heavy sun bleaching, in particular to the left arm. Despite the condition the blouse strikes as an almost ‘in theatre’ worn piece, to a well-known infantry division which served with great distinction in the North West Europe campaign.
