A gem that bears the pride of a U.S. military pilot - a vintage suit bag with "FIGHTER PILOT" embroidery is now in stock.
This suit bag was probably personally procured and used by Captain P.E. "MATT" DILLON during the Vietnam War, and judging from the style of embroidery, it is a rare piece, presumably tailored in Vietnam or Thailand. The shiny black nylon body is embroidered with a pilot's badge with powerful wings spread and the words "FIGHTER PILOT" in large letters, captivating the eye.
Unlike the officially issued items of the U.S. military, this is a personal item that strongly reflects the pride and style of the individual. It was an important possession that symbolized one's presence in the unit and one's identity upon returning home.
Overall, there is a sense of use, and stains and scuffs can be seen. In addition, the fabric near the name embroidery was frayed and has been repaired to prevent the cover from rolling up. It is full of charm as a real militaria item with traces of history of actual use in the field.
Vintage military enthusiasts and aviation collectors will love this item. It also has an outstanding impact as an atmospheric display item.
