Vietnam era POW Returning / Operation Homecoming uniform. A true piece of history. Uniform set comes with Jacket, shirt and trousers. All pieces are made in Eastern Europe and were issued to the POWS when they were flown back to the Philippines before they went home. All three pieces are in good condition with just minor staining. The shirt has a small tear on the top of the right shoulder (see photos). This uniform belonged to Lieutenant Colonel Barry B. Bridger. He was an F-4 pilot who was forced to eject in 1967 and was held in captivity for 6 years. His entire story can be found on Veteran Tributes: https://veterantributes.org/Tr...
