Old flight suit and boots

[FlyingYankee]

Found these at the flea market today. I thought some of you would like these. I may sell to fund another GW jacket as I am not a collector. The boots hare in rough shape but entirely intact. Not wearable as the rubber is hard. Man who owned these was in the Air Force in the 1950s. I purchased them from his son. Got some of his old flying charts also.

NIce score! Looks like late-WW2 A-6A flying boots (which were worn into the 1950s) and a very early K-2B. This was the first pattern of the lightweight sage flying suit and probably dates to the mid-1950s or thereabouts.

Very good score! all appear to be in good shape! The suit is around 57/58? depending...Do the boots have the large US Air Force decal on the side (not the small one in the pic) or the WWII Army Air Corps?

Nice to see these things still turn up...

The suit is one of the two first versions of the K-2B from the beginning of 50s. The spécification is on the inner label. What's the size please?
