USAAF Officer uniform holdall / carrier

[Marv]

Hi chaps,

Been trying to find a USAAF officer's uniform holdall / kit bag but not having much luck.
Anybody know what the official term for the holdall is and anywhere I can look to maybe find a repro etc.
If you know of any pics could you please post them also.......

The kit bag you're looking for ( i think ! ) is this one -

it is available from Eastman. Alternatively, they often crop up on ebay if you must have an original !

Hope this helps
