Tax included
Genuine WWII USAF Type A-1 lamp assembly, intended for being automatically turned on as the parachute opened, thus assisting with locating A-4 or A-5 cargo containers on the ground during night drops.
Manufactured by Peerless Manufacturing Corp. in February 1944.
Different light colors were used depending on the cargo in order to identify the contents -- this green lamp was thus designed for being used with green canopies (medical supplies).
Complete and in good overall condition; comes in its original cardboard box.
