A museum-grade artifact from the birth of the Air Cavalry. This is a named Type K-2B Cotton Flight Suit belonging to Captain Gale of the legendary 11th Air Assault Division (Test). Active only from 1963 to 1965, this unit pioneered helicopter tactics at Ft. Benning before becoming the 1st Cav. The suit features the ultra-rare 11th Air Assault shoulder patch, a MACV combat patch (right sleeve) indicating prior advisor service, and Army Aviator wings.

Detailed Description: This isn't just a uniform; it's a timeline of the early Vietnam War.

  • Historical Context: The wearer was a combat veteran (MACV Advisor) who returned to the US to help test the "Airmobile" concept with the 11th Air Assault Division.

  • Insignia:

    • Left Shoulder: The short-lived 11th Air Assault Div (Test) patch – the precursor to the 1st Cav patch.

    • Right Shoulder: MACV (Military Assistance Command, Vietnam), showing the officer's "Right Arm" combat experience.

    • Chest: Embroidered name "GALE", US ARMY tape, and Army Aviator Badge.

    • Collar: Captain's bars (O-3).

  • Specs: Label reads "SUIT, FLYING, MAN'S VERY LIGHT, TYPE K-2B", dating it to the cotton poplin era pre-1966. Size Medium Short.

    US Army Manual TM 9-1005-249-14 – M16, XM16E1 & XM148 Launcher – 1966
    Skladem (1 pcs) Brand: G.I.

    A highly desirable Technical Manual (TM 9-1005-249-14) dated August 1966. This manual is a treasure trove for early Vietnam War collectors. It covers the maintenance and repair of the M16 and XM16E1 rifles, but its primary value lies in the inclusion of the XM148 40mm Grenade Launcher. The XM148 was an experimental, failure-prone predecessor to the M203, used briefly by US Special Forces. Original documentation for the XM148 is extremely scarce.
