1950’s Topping North American Aviation USAF F-100 Super Sabre Desk Top Model
This is a listing for a vintage 1950’s Topping – North American Aviation, Inc. USAF – F-100 Super Sabre Contractors Desk Top Model with original pamphlet and original box with cardboard inserts. This plane is made of plastic and measures approximately 13 inches long with a 10 inch wingspan. It comes to you still in excellent overall condition, with no chips, breaks or cracks that I have noticed. Some of the decals show some slight signs of wear, but are overall clean and in very nice condition. Plane is also overall very clean showing only some small / slight dirt marks. Metal Pitot tube is included. Red paint on tube shows some small signs of age wear / flaking. It fits very loosely into the hole in the plane and there is a small melt mark by it. Not sure if this was the metal touching the plastic or a prior attempt to lightly glue it in place. Original stand is also included. It is also in very nice condition, showing only some minor / slight signs of age and storage wear. It looks like the clear part of the stand may have been re-glued in the past, but it is securely attached to the base and easily holds up the plane. The bottom of the stand has an very slight inscription in what looks like pencil. It says “From Dad”, so this must have been a gift. This might be removable but we did not try and left it in place for the nostalgia factor. Finally we have the small pamphlet that originally came with the plane. There is information about the plane inside and design specifics on the back. It is in overall good / very good condition, but shows the usual and expected small signs of age and storage wear. This plane would make a superb addition to any collection. Please see our pictures for details. International Buyers Please Note.

USAF MA-1 Flight Jacket LARGE Size 1950s Albert Turner & Co. & In Fine Condition
You are admiring one of the nicest 1950s Large Size Albert Turner MA-1 that I have had the pleasure to own and now being offered here for sale. The jacket’s knits MASH CO. JAPAN were replaced by me but all else remains original to the jacket. This is a vintage garment but If there are any flaws they are all minor. This jacket looks stunning. I changed out the knits when received. The jacket was so clean and both the inner and outer nylon outer shell was so vibrant that I saw no need to do any cleaning. The new owner will not be disappointed with the jacket’s appearance. The nice thing about these 1950a black label MA-1 is that both the sleeves and body are a generous length. That is as compared all subsequent later model MA-1 jackets. The jacket’s dimensions are as follows. Sleeve length 26″ to 26 1/2″. Body Length 25 1/2 (from the base of the collar to the end of the knits). Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

USAF Gentex HGU-55 Fighter Pilot Combat Edge Helmet, Oxygen Mask, Comms Mic
It includes the visor, visor cover, mask, mic, hose. It has the liner, which can be washed, along with the padded insert. It also has special ear cups to reduce ambient noise. The ridges on the helmet where you would put the visor are special as well to accommodate pilots wearing glasses or who wanted more room in the helmet between the visor and their face. Along the side of the helmet, the extra hose is for the combat edge which adds air from the aircraft’s oxygen system to a bladder in the back of the helmet (included) to stop the mask from drooping at extremely high g forces (this helmet has been to 9 Gs in an F-16). As G’s increase, the bladder fills with air holding the mask tightly to your face. It also increased airflow/pressure through the mask to supply the pilot with more air during high Gs. Most of the helmets I have seen for sale are from life support/chamber use and have no flying history to them or they are non-flying copies. The hoses, mask, mic are in surprisingly good condition. The helmet itself shows some age as you can see in the photos. This helmet is in the original state from my last flight in an F-16. Nothing has been added or removed since my last flight. All the inspection stickers are real, the bayonets work perfectly to attach the mask to the helmet and the thread tacking the bayonets to the mask are in good condition. There are a few signs of rust on the chin strap adjustment buckle that could be cleaned. This is the real thing. Please let me know if you have any questions. The Condition is “Used”.

Century Wings 172 A-7D Corsair II USAF 23rd TFW, 75th TFS Tiger Sharks
Century Wings 1:72 Wings of Heroes 001632 Vought A-7D Corsair II Diecast Model USAF 23rd TFW, 75th TFS Tiger Sharks, #72-0218, England AFB, LA, 1981. Limited Edition 1000 Pieces Worldwide. Vought A-7D Corsair II. The 75th Fighter Squadron was one of the original squadrons in the 23rd Fighter Group when it took over operations of the 1st American Volunteer Group (Flying Tigers) in China during World War II. Following World War II, the 75th was activated at various times and locations throughout the world. In July 1972, the 75th rejoined its sister squadrons for the first time since 1949 when the 23rd Tactical Fighter Wing was activated at England Air Force Base LA. The 75th began operations flying the A-7 Corsair II in 1972 taking part in a variety of operational exercises both in the United States and overseas, including tactical bombing competitions against the Royal Air Force at RAF Lossiemouth, Scotland, during October 1977 and July 1978. The squadron eventually transitioned into the A-10 Thunderbolt II in the summer of 1981. Designed as a longer-range, higher-payload replacement for the A-4 Skyhawk, the A-7 Corsair II was first flown on September 27th, 1965. This aircraft entered service during the Vietnam war and later became one of only a few US Navy aircraft to serve with the US Air Force. It possessed cutting edge technologies; it was one of the first aircraft to use a turbofan engine, an internal navigation system and a “head-up” display. Late in its career, A-7s were used for pilot training and were parked outside of hangars in order to draw the attention of Soviet spy satellites away from the fledgling F-117. Century Wings’ 1:72 scale A-7 series includes the Navy A-7E and the Air Force A-7D. The most notable features of this model are its large and cavernous chin scoop and engine exhaust detail at the rear. The canopy is hinged and locks against the tinted bulletproof windscreen, and a pair of a non-breakable rubberized pitot tubes are installed just below. The cockpit interior is packed with more instrumentation and switch detail than just about any other model in 1:72 scale. A complete set of ordnance mounts to the keyed wing pylons and snaps in place for easy reconfiguration. The solid metal horizontal stabilizers are movable and rotate in unison. Century Wings 1:72 Wings of Heroes. The Century Wings “1:72 Wings of Heroes” range presents highly-detailed, ready-made diecast models of military aircraft. Century Wings 1:72 diecast airplanes feature. Diecast metal construction with some plastic components. Realistic panel lines, antennas, access panels and surface details. Pad printed markings and placards that won’t fade or peel like decals. Opening canopies, revealing detailed cockpit interiors. Selected moveable control surfaces. Interchangeable extended/retracted landing gear. Presentation stand to display the aircraft “in flight”. Detailed removable pilot and crew figures. Authentic detachable ordnance loads complete with placards. Accurately detailed underside with concealed screwheads. Many limited editions with numbered certificate of authenticity.
