Earlier this week I decided to drop by a friend's antique/militaria shop and was fortunate to catch him right in the middle of unloading a heap of new items from his car. Among the goodies was this pair of USAF F-1 heavy flying trousers in near mint condition, complete with suspenders. There's just a little discoloration of the lining in the rear waist area, but otherwise they're fantastic and even the ankle knits are perfect. OD nylon retains strong color and the USAF stencils are still legible as seen in the attached pics. The trousers also feature the desirable Crown zippers with spring-loaded pullers. Overall a great score and I'm pleased to have these in my collection of early USAF nylon clothing. Now to find the N-3 parka to go with them . . .
