This is an extremely rare prewar aviation set from the Imperial Japanese Army, consisting of a pilot’s service cap and personal flight logbook , dated 1933 (Showa 8). The set includes key elements of early Japanese military aviation history-when flight was still a frontier, and pilots were national symbols of progress and sacrifice. This soft visor cap features an orange wool band, indicating affiliation with the Imperial Flying Association (Teikoku Hiko Kyokai /)-a semi-governmental organization founded in 1910 to promote aviation across Japan. The front bears the extremely rare aviation badge with a stylized propeller over paulownia leaves, used for training pilots and youth aviation programs. Caps like this were issued to cadets or reserve aviators undergoing training in cooperation with the military. The included logbook records flights on the Type 88 Reconnaissance Aircraft, known as the “Atsurio-shiki Ni-Hachi-gata” (?????). This aircraft, produced by Kawasaki, was a biplane used by the Japanese Army during the early 1930s, especially during the Manchurian Incident. The entries show active training flights, totaling 18 sorties and 2 hours 20 minutes of airtime. This set captures a specific moment in time: the early militarization of Japanese aviation, the rise of pilot culture, and the involvement of the Empire’s civilian air associations in preparing young men for war. It is not only a collectible-it’s a document of ambition, propaganda, and personal journey. Highly recommended for collectors of Imperial Japanese aviation and WWII ephemera. Own a Piece of History.

This BB&B 1920’s US Navy Mexico Campaign Medal would make a great place holder until a collector can get a numbered one. This is half the price of a numbered one and has that been there look as it was made in the 1920’s. The rim does NOT have a number on it. The brooch has been replaced at some point as it isn’t the correct style. The planchet is in good shape considering its age but look at the pics and see for yourself. The ribbon is fraying as pictured on the top left of the bar but will hold for probably another 100+ years if cared for. The medal will be placed in a box with plenty of padding to protect it. Then that box will be placed in a bubble wrapped mailer. Please ask any and all questions. Be sure to check out my other listings for more great military items.
