US Navy Vietnam AIRCRAFT CARRIER ARRESTING GEAR CREW GREEN FLIGHT DECK VEST 1969
Item History & Price
| Reference Number: Avaluer:143834 |
The flight deck of a US Navy aircraft carrier in Vietnam was a bustling hive of deadly activity. Order was maintained in the highly choreographed sequence by the use of color coded deck teams, each with a specific job. Red was for ordnance men, yellow for landing signals officers, and green for arresting gear crew. This US Navy Vietnam AIRCRAFT CARRIER ARRESTING GEAR CREW GREEN FLIGHT DECK VEST is in excellent condition, with only some light scattered age wear evident (ALL pictured...). Otherwise, the vest is in excellent shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the crisp green nylon construction. Most interestingly, it's a Size Small/Medium (adjustable from 34-40 with black cotton side laces), boasts fully functional darkened brass "glove" snap closures down the front, and is dated 1969 on the original nomenclature tag at the inside neck. A beautiful example of a rare, original US Navy Vietnam AIRCRAFT CARRIER ARRESTING GEAR CREW GREEN FLIGHT DECK VEST. Now celebrating over 15 years on eBay.
