Photos of Navy Pilots Overseas Site

[Lando]

I don't know if this site has been listed here before but I couldn't find anything so I figured I would link it. For all I know the guy running it is a member here lol. But I really like this site and all the regular updates of photos from the 30's to 50's have been invaluable, especially if your a fan of the M-422A like I am. Enjoy.

They are in the Marine Corps (the photo above). If still alive, they would not take too kindly to being referred to as "Navy."

It is a good site; thanks for posting.

M422 & Bone Domes

It looks like the two non Mud Marines are in the transition period, between the earlier M-422 jacket and the modern G1. Note the nice scalloped pocket on the Aviator to the left. Whish they had kept that on later jackets, wish mine had them! I really like the Corsair photos, love the early Bone Domes!

Yes, a S&W Military & Police Model of 1905 (Victory) in .38 Special. The Victory Model was a standard-issue sidearm for US Navy and Marine aircrews during WWII.
