9th Air Force Field Jacket

Note:  This exhibit has temporarily been removed from display.

 

Since 9th Air Force aircrews lived in field conditions, many wore the same jackets as their infantry counterparts. Lt. Robert Geyer wore the field jacket displayed in the museum's Air Power Gallery while serving in the 9th Air Force in 1945. 

Also displayed is AN-S-31 flight suit and "50 Mission Crush" cap worn by Lt. John Johnson, P-47 pilot in the 367th Fighter Group, 9th Air Force.
