Re: What We Carried
In Response To: What We Carried ()

I carried a bullet bag with about 20 clips for my Grease gun WWll vintage made by Singer Sewing Machine Co. Clips loaded all tracers so it looked like a .50 cal when you hung it out the window and turned it on.

A big ole bowie knife in a leg sheath for breaking plexiglass, if I had used it for self defense I probably would have used it on myself.
If the bad guys were that close.

And $400 in cash wrapped up in my "blood Chit" $100.00 for each member of crew.

A .38 in a shoulder holster, and a .45 in front of "the jewels"

Silver crash bracelet given to me by my wife on graduating flight school.

St. Christopher medal.

Case of Frags in baggage compartment.

Dogtag on my boot.

And of course all Charlie models came equipped with hammocks.In case we drew a convoy cover mission.
