I will add a picture of the box at as soon as possible. The box still had his WWII military return address on it along with the WWII era postage! He told me that they had not been taken out of the box since he sent them home. We went out to his car and in the trunk were these items stuffed in the wooden box that he had mailed them home in. I said I probably would and asked if we could go look at them. He wanted to know if I would be interested in them. He told me that he was a WWII Veteran and that he had a box of WWII Japanese pilot items in a box out in his car. I was attending a local show in the late 1990s when a gentleman in his late 70s came up to me and started chatting. I obtained all of these items directly from the Veteran that brought them back about 15 years ago. It consists of the Japanese Army flight suit, flight gloves, and flight boots. This WWII Japanese Army Aviator grouping is one my all time absolute favorite groupings.
