I’m liking the brown shoes much better as well. I guess Corcoran is gonna have to bring back the brown jump boot. Don’t worry Tickmagnet, that won’t cost the taxpayer a dime. Paratroopers have to buy their jump boots. The right to wear them is earned, but ya gotta spend part of your jump pay to buy a pair.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh man, LOVE those uniforms!! We want our guys and gals in uniform to look EXTRA sharp and these do look awesome.  

 

I agree, very sharp!

GMorrison, if your father-in-law flew P-70's in Florida, was he assigned to Orlando Field? Orlando Field had P-70's and P-61's along with other USAAF types.

My sincere apologies, Armyguy for hijacking the thread. But this is sorta on-topic...

GMorrison

In their spare time in Tunisia, he and a couple of other mechanics rebuilt a Bf-109 and flew it around a few times. Pictures to prove it but I can't post them.

 

 It's a usage rights issue with another family member.

Ah... 

There actually are some aspects of WWII still classified today. 

It's kind of funny you say that because at some point Army Intelligence showed up and took it away.

Stay tuned.
