Recognizing military equipment

[TNDadx4]

I'm hoping that you would be able to help me. I know that many of you were in the military and have heard that certain MOS/AFSCS require you to learn to recognize US and foreign police and military equipment, aircraft, etc.

I've seen (a long time ago) a set of flashcards with various silhouettes on them. Could anyone recommend a site or book to learn how to identify these elements?

Thanks!

Speaking of military equipment, I have a wwII era USMC utility jacket, in good shape, also an army one from the same time, both hearingbone material. Anyone have any info about the value, or a place to sell em?
