Field gear from a tail gunner killed in action

This came in as part of a collection of early WWII field gear. This had a name and service number and, using a nightvision camera to help read the faded name, I was able to find that it belonged to a B-24 crewman who (along with the entire crew)  was killed when they were shot down over Holland in Feb. 1945.
