Description: Vintage Jeppesen & Co. JEPCO Flight Case Model 55-I This vintage flight case is a rare treasure from the 1950s to 1960s, originally used by a U.S. Army aviation officer. The Jeppesen & Co. "JEPCO FLIGHT CASE Model 55-I" was a trusted companion in the skies during the Cold War era, designed to hold flight manuals, maps, flight plans, and other essential documents. The case is marked with "ARMY 4894", a testament to its service in military operations, including surveillance and reconnaissance missions.
