UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

And now I lay myself to sleep, atop a Waco Army Jeep . . . There can’t be many of these pillowcases left.

“This is a MILITARY PILLOWCASE FROM THE WACO ARMY FLYING SCHOOL IN WACO, TEXAS, CIRCA 1943. I COULD NOT GET IT ALL IN MY LEGAL SIZE SCANNER SO I SCANNED 5 IMAGES OF THE PILLOWCASE AND ONE IMAGE OF THE POSTAL BOX IT CAME IN. THE BOX WAS ADDRESSED TO LENA JANE RUSSELL IN CORSICANA, TEXAS.. AND BOX WAS FROM PRIVATE C. J. BELLRINGER OR BELLVINGER ? IN WACO, TEXAS. WHEN YOU LAY THIS THING DOWN, IT MEASURES APPROXIMATELY 20″ x 20″ IN SIZE.”

Here’s a fantastic photo from Crissy Field near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. It sure looks way different now! I found the photo at this military mashup site, which has a good collection of jeep prototype photos.
