FREE US SHIPPING
For your consideration a pair of vintage WWII United States Army Air Force Type A-6A flight
over-boots in size Medium & made by the Bristolite Company. These boots would be perfect
for Korean War U.S.A.A.F.and A.A.F. flight memorabilia display or part of a private
military display. (The boots are dry but not rotted and I would NOT wear them.)
The boots are in never worn excellent overall condition for being over 70 years old. The
leather uppers are still soft & supple with light flaking throughout with a few small
holes (See provided pictures) . The mint rubber soles are also unused condition with
no wear & no cracking. The shearling interior is also in clean excellent condition with
no bald spots or dry rot. The boot size "M & Made in USA" are stamped on the rubber boot soles.
I wear a size 10-1/2-11 medium boot and they fit me perfectly.
( Again I would use them only for display, but it gives you an idea of the size.)
Each of the four buckles have light surface rust. The four buckle straps are present and in
excellent unused condition. Both heavy-duty Crown zippers operate smoothly and the "lock down"
mechanisms also function properly, there is light surface corrosion that will brush off. Both Crown
zippers have the leather pulls attached. The black label reads: "Shoes: Pilots; (Winter Flying);
TYPE A-6A; SPECIFICATION NO. 94-3O81-B; SIZE Medium 5 1/2 to 7; AAF STOCK NO. 8300-721950 ;
ORDER #AF33(038)-164O; Bristolite." "U.S. AIR FORCES" are decals are on each boot
.
Based on the condition of these boots, we assume the original owner
never wore these boots & were probably a back-up pair during his tour of
duty. As such, this is a super opportunity to acquire an excellent pair
of issued but unworn WWII Type A-6A flight boots for your collection!
Great care will be used in packaging and shipping your boots.
