"YANKEE AIR PIRATES VOL. 2" USAF VIETNAM BOONIE HAT FLIGHT SUIT REFERENCE BOOK

Description

The US Air Force in Vietnam contended with the most sophisticated air defense in history, while also providing air support to ground troops, rescuing downed airmen, and battling the flow of supplies from North to South down the Ho Chi Minh trail. The party suits, boonie hats, and patches worn by those "Yankee Air Pirates" have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Olivier Bizet and Francois Millard to write another authoritative reference book on the subject in 2015. This "YANKEE AIR PIRATES VOL. 2" USAF VIETNAM BOONIE HAT FLIGHT SUIT REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 340 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of Tactical Airlift, Air Commando, and Special Operation Squadron party suits, ball caps, and patches, Strategic Air Command flight jackets and badged K-2B flight suits, SAC U-2 "Dragon Lady", A-12 "Oxcart", and SR-71 "Blackbird" high altitude flight gear, custom Thai made USAF tiger stripe camo flight suits, boonie hats, and ball caps, badged ERDL camouflage jungle fatigues, Prisoner Of War striped uniforms, the Operation Homecoming jacket and patch, River Rats, Yankee Air Pirates, and Southeast Asia War Games Participant in-country made insignia, and many other incredible USAF relics from the Vietnam War.
