Nice genuine WWII USAAF Type B-4 Life Preserver -- the legendary 'Mae West' -- of the standard regulation type intended for Army Air Forces aircrews, also issued to airborne troops on the occasion of Operation Neptune.
Manufactured by The Firestone R. & L. Prod. Co. in 1943.
Very good overall condition; retains all original straps, rubber hoses and both emplacements for CO² cartridges.
Mention and initials have been written on the front, indicating that the present life jacket once saw service with the 467th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion.
