Aviation - Gordon Cooper's "Pneumatic Anti-G Suit". This US Army Air Force Anti-G suit is in a green zippered carry bag (8x9x3") that is stenciled on one side with a white Army Air Force insignia beneath which is black "LeRoy G. Cooper, JG / Suit - Pneumatic Anti-G, Type G3A / Specification No. R-3231A / Size Large Long / …/ The Berger Co. / Property US Army Air Force". There is a similar label attached to the suit inside the bag. Someone has written "Cooper" in red beneath his black stenciled name on the outside. This suit was worn extensively by Cooper during Air Force and NASA jet flights to prevent him from blacking out during high stress aircraft manoevers. The suit appears to be in excellent condition and will make a great addition to any collection.
