USAAF Kit, First Aid, Aeronautic

SOLD

Code: SOLD-1348



One of the three variations of this particular kit that was introduced during 1943. Compact olive drab canvas pouch with zip closure, press studed front pocket and @APOS@lift-the-dot@APOS@ fasteners that attached to matching studs in the crew positions inside the aircraft. Contained 3 x boxed small first aid dressings, tourniquet, 10x iodine swabs, eye dressings, burn jelly, bandage compresses, scissors, morphine syrettes, sufadiazine tablets and halazone tablets. The latter 3 items were removed from training aircraft. This kit appears to have everything bar these 3 items and the scissors. The pouch is in good condition bar light soiling and wear. It is stamped @APOS@Medical Dept. U.S.A.@APOS@. The contents are generally in good unused but aged condition - the burn jelly not so good as is often the case. These kits were carried on all combat, cargo, transport and glider aircraft. Stock code S18284.
