USAAF WW2 B-17 Bomber D-2 Breathing Oxygen Set
Category:
€ 275,00
In a nice used condition a hard to find US WW2 Army Air Corp Type D-2 Breathing Oxygen canister with a khaki carrying case.
The Type D-2 oxygen tanks were used in B-17 Bombers. This type of tank is known as a "walk-around" tank, measuring approximately 28 inches in length. If the Bombardier needed to get back to the Tail Gunner. He would disconnect his oxygen at his station and connect the D-2 tank to walk to the rear of the bomber.
The D-2 was essentially used by any crew member to move about the plane. The D-2 tank is yellow colored and comes with an A-13 Regulator that has had some damage. In my opinion an item from a crashed bomber accourding the small damage and bloodstains on the khaki cover.
A very stunning set for a bomber display or mannequin!
