USAAF AN-6505-1 Aviators Kit Bag Large

Now £39.99 £33.32 Was £49.99

American WW2 Air Force aviators kit bag, AN-6505-1.

This heavy cotton canvas kit bag was used by flight crew to carry the parachute and flight gear to the aircraft.

This large bag is the standard issue size bag used by US air crew in WW2. A very practical bag which would have been picked up or bartered for by any personnel visiting an airfield.

Fantastic details and specifications like the chrome "Talon" branded zippers and the five internal pockets just like the original bag.

These holdalls are great for carrying your military gear around or they give a classic vintage look as day to day holdall.

This high quality replica has the correct stamping on the front "Aviator's kit bag AN-6505-1 Property US Government" and the USAAF logo on the opposite side. These are quality bags made from quality canvas, zips and press studs, they are not made from cheap Pakistan cotton and cheap brass press studs.

All the original features including the reinforcement strips on the sides and the internal pockets. 

The AN-6505-1 USAAF Kit bag features:

  • Two rows of  internal flat pockets sewn onto one of the sides, the bottom row has 2 large pockets and the top row has 3 pockets design to organise and store kit like gloves.
  • The internal pockets are flat so when you are not using them they do not take up any extra space.
  • Kit bag is closed by two chrome zippers which meet in the middle so you can lock a padlock through the 2 zip pulls locking the holdall.
  • Zips are quality chrome Talon branded.
  • Canvas flap in the middle to cover where the two zips meet. This flap is secured by two chrome press studs, these are the same press studs from M42 jump suits.
  • Under the small it is stamped "Kay Canvas".
  • 2 heavy canvas handles wrap right under the bag for extra strength.
  • On the outside (opposite side to side with the pockets on) there are two canvas strips between the canvas handles which where design to reduce wear caused by the rubbing when in the aircraft.
  • Correct stamping on the sides "Aviator's Kit Bag AN6505-1Property U.S. Government" on one side.
  • The USAAF wings and star logo with the words "Army Air Forces" on the opposite side between the handles near the top.
  • Size: base is 56cm (22") x 33cm (13") with a height of 44cm (171/4").

 

Colour: OD#3 which is a tan/khaki colour.

 

These bags are ideal for USAAF re-enactment but also make a great bag to carry your re-enactment gear in. They also make a fantastic luggage bag for anyone interested in vintage style. These look better when the are half full rather full to the max.

Add your own unit art work to personalise your bag.
