I have a bunch of those. My brother passed a few years ago and left a collection of high end aviation photos. I gave some to the local CAF museum, some to friends who are aviation buffs and some to friends as Christmas presents.
 
I collect military firearms. Mostly ww2 era. But I like it all. I like collecting surplus stuff too but dont have alot. Just the basics bayonets,ammo pouches, slings, patches, magazines and clips, etc
 
I tend to collect military patches, primarily US Air Force related, and some from other countries throughout the world.
 
I don't collect military aircraft images, but I do create them. Here are a few of my works...

I collected aches and pains from the military for quite a while. Still have them all, and manage to get more as the years go on.
 
got some original b&w photos from ww2...africa, italy, etc.
most taken for the "stars and stripes" newspaper.
 
I pick up a few of these, while overseas they can purchased sometimes at the first shirts office, but more often exchange between the ranks as a job well done token of appreciation.
