Navy Patrol Bomber Air Gunner Clothing at the U.S. Navy Museum
The U.S. Navy Museum caption reads:
Air Gunner, Navy Patrol Bomber 1941-1945
Because of extreme cold at upper altitude, aircrews wore warm, durable clothing. Both the M-445A heavy winter jacket and the matching M-446A trousers were lined with shearling, sheepskin tanned with the wool left on. The leather NAF-1092 flight helmet is fitted with A-N 6530 goggles. A Mark 1 life jacket or Mae West is worn over the jacket. While in the aircraft, crews wore a parachute harness on top of the other equipment. Gunners had special mittens with trigger fingers. The heavy shearling-lined boots with rubber soles feature two zippers, one for normal use and one with a leather, pull tab for use in an emergency. The .50 caliber Browning machine gun features an aircraft type grip; next to it stands a 250-round ammunition box. The Polaroid, variable density, gunner's goggles can be adjusted by the knob on front.
