SOUTHERN AIR TRADE
Military Surplus, Foreign Camo & Cold War Collectibles
Southern Air Trade is an online military surplus store. We sell genuine issued surplus clothing and field gear from the British, German, Swiss, Austrian, Dutch, Polish, Romanian and US armed forces, alongside new-production field clothing, modern tactical gear, military history books, aviation gifts and authenticated relics such as SR-71 Blackbird and Berlin Wall fragments. The name is a nod to Southern Air Transport, the Cold War cargo airline with CIA ties.
Every listing states the item's era and condition. Surplus is sold as found, and known faults are listed on the page.

Good to know
Sizing: Foreign surplus uses its army's own sizing (for example British 170/96 codes, German Gr. sizes, and Austrian chest-and-length codes). Each listing gives the sizes available.
Surplus vs. new: Listings state whether an item is issued military surplus or new production (such as Oscar4Fox combat shirts or Rothco apparel).
