Zero Pilots's Uniform

Guys,

Ii took this photo today at the Air Force museum. This uniform is of the pilot of the 1st Zero brought down over Aust soil during a raid on Darwin.

The pilot was captured and sent to the Cowra POW camp. He was one of the ringleaders in the mass breakout of August 44 and committed suicide during the break.
