It is a piece that looks as if it is a direct representation of the heroism on the battlefield. This is an original T-shirt that would have been worn with pride by the pilots of attack helicopter units during the Vietnam War!
In the center of the T-shirt is a bold depiction of a cobra with its fangs bared, and the challenging message "GUNS ARE FOR FUN! Military humor and masculinity are blended into one, conveying the atmosphere of the time. Like a cobra threatening its enemies, this is a "fighting T-shirt" that gives the wearer an indomitable "spirit".
The T-shirt has brown stains from the chest to the sleeves, fading, and tears and fraying of the fabric in various places. These scars are the proof that this T-shirt has passed through the battlefield, or at least the hot days in the unit, as a "living witness" itself. Please enjoy it as a unique charm of vintage.
Estimated age and background
Probably made in the 1960s or 1970s, during the Vietnam War when the Cobra AH-1 was the main weapon of choice. Although there are few confirmed references to the squadron numbered "437," the equipment and design undoubtedly originated with the Attack Helicopter Unit during the Vietnam War. The fresh look and feel of the T-shirt tells the history of the unit, and makes it a great collectible T-shirt.
This is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
