[Milsurplus] [ARC5] Disposition of surplus aircraft, Europe WWII

[Hubert Miller]

Sorry, answer doesn't make sense to my question, altho its basic fact is correct.
Flying headgear was not personal property, and the numbers of Japanese planes stashed as last-ditch reserves has been
variously given as 5000 to 8000. There is one particular microphone which strapped on front of the pilot's mouth, no doubt 
for non-oxygen altitudes, that is particularly rare. I have one beat-up example. Or how about Japanese flying helmets with
built-in voice tubes for "Gosport" audio? Where did all those go to? I suppose in most theaters of the Pacific War, there wasn't
a huge established urban population to grab and hoard this stuff, plus in the home islands the population was very obedient 
about destroying all war equipment. I gather the WWII Japanese communications electronics that survived, in Japan, was 
kept for maintaining civilian communications, with a much smaller part by private party hoarding.
