USAF Airplane 1st Aid Kit.

Any ideas as to what aircraft this would be fitted to(its Nam period DSA)??

Done a google search with the part number and while it didnt come up with the same as mine it showed one attached inside an AH64 Apache cockpit

I believe that the first aid kit of this style was a general item that would have been in a wide variety of non ejection seat aircraft and helicopters. I have seen them in many airframes from Huey's to C-130's.

I have a WWII era kit that is basically the same, only in canvas.

I am on vacation right now, and return home next week. When I get home I will give my survival equipment reference books a look see for more specific information.

Looks Vietnam era to me.

Thanks guys.

Its definately Nam ear as it has the DSA coding-the early DSA without the date.

Inside are various items(not complete)-Field dressings and eye pads.

The only number I can see appears to be a National Stock Number (NSN) or Federal Stock Number (FSN). Do any of the components have dates? This may be a more reliable clue as to the kit's vintage, although of course they are expendable and could have been replaced over time.

Markings on the pouch are faded but look like DSA 120-610?

None of the bits appear dated.
