Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:121066 |
Vietnam was a new kind of war, the first helicopter war in history, and it demanded a new kind of warrior. US "Huey" helicopters ranged the country, acting as gunships, aerial artillery, air ambulances, and "sky cranes". Huey chopper pilots and crews suffered grievous burns if their aircraft was hit by ground fire. Nomex fire resistant flight clothing was developed by the famous DuPont Corporation, and reduced burn casualties significantly. This pair of US Army Vietnam HUEY HELICOP...TER PILOT NOMEX FLIGHT PANTS are in near mint condition, missing the front left waist pocket button, and with some light scattered age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the pants are in near mint shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the crisp OD Nomex construction. Most interestingly, they are a Size Large Long, boast a fully functional "GENERAL" darkened brass zipper down the fly and at each of the thigh and knee pockets, and carry the original "CONTRACT NO. 7288" nomenclature tag inside. They feature covered button flap closure front waist and seat pockets, strap and buckle waist adjusters, and OD velcro ankle tabs, sport all but one of the original dimpled OD plastic buttons throughout, and are a beautiful example of rare, original US Army Vietnam HUEY HELICOPTER PILOT NOMEX FLIGHT PANTS.
