Here is a great site with lots of photos of the early USAF starting about 1948.
Be sure to click through the pages that are located on the bottom as there are many categories. It's a long gone era we seldom get to see. Enjoy!

While not exactly flight gear, I picked up this USAF service uniform (ca. 1963) with WWII ribbons at a swap meet not too long ago.
