Shultz’s uniforms lend authenticity
to displays,
military shows
If you ever wonder where the vintage uniforms come from at
military shows and displays, they come from guys like Air
Force Lt. Col. David Shultz.
Since 1993, Shultz has used his extensive U.S. military
uniform collection to bring an element of authenticity to
military shows and even a major musical produced by U.S. Air
Forces in Europe.
Most of the events involved static displays and outfitting
“live mannequins” with between 40 and 85 uniforms, including
combat gear where appropriate. Many military members have
probably seen his work.
Major shows include:
