British Battle Dress
DAYTON, Ohio -- British battle dress and goggles and U.S. flying helmet worn by the donor, Col. Maurice Elstun, on combat missions in North Africa in 1942-1943. When his 93rd Bomb Group was sent from England to Northwest Africa, it was scheduled for only a 10-day period, so most men of the 93rd took few clothes with them. However, the 93rd was soon sent to a base near Torbuk, Libya, for permanent assignment where the only uniforms available were British. These items are on display in the World War II Gallery at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force. (U.S. Air Force photo)
