    Vintage original 1950s H-21 HELICOPTER AIR FORCE MA-1 PILOT FLIGHT JACKET LOT / Patches Dog Tags / The jacket measures across the chest at 22 inches from arm pit to arm pit / The length of the jacket is 27 inches and the length of the arms are 25 inches from the shoulder seam to the end of the cuffs. The collar web material is now missing and the tag is also missing. I have taken a photo of the tag area to show you it had the older black and gold tag. This jacket is has tiny holes from what looks like maybe fire sparks, and discoloration as seen in photos. The zipper I was able to zip up, but that was no easy task being the end had a split in lining up the zipper teeth . I have his dog tags  personal air force name tag , patches , rifle medal, collar insignias and his personal H-21 Helicopter book and a good photo of his helicopter, the other photos re really not much, just photos of his barracks . There is a TM1-260 Principles of Rotary Wing Flight. These books are all period dated to when he first enter the air Force.
