Has anyone mentioned German Fighter Pilots in both WW's?
It's been a while since I've seen the Cain Mutiny. But, wasn't Lt Greenwald wearing green, because he was a Marine? All be it a Marine Aviator.
how about the hosehold calvary blues and royals i love there uniform really smart and the 21st lancers at the time of the crimean war
Definitely so; very dashing.
You, of all people, are going to let that spelling mistake slide?

here official name is, Aviation Working Green Uniform. They were worn from 1920 to 22011, though not many wore them since WWII. They were never a required uniform, always optional.

Won't be long and we won't even have brown shoes anymore. The only uniform that we can wear brown shoes with, other than our flight suits with brown boots, is our Khakis. Those are getting rare to see in the fleet these days. The Navy Working Uniform (NWU) has taken over. They are commonly referred to as aquaflage. I can honestly say that I absolutely hate the NWU uniform.
Is the USN still so hardover about not wearing flight suits routinely off base? Back in the 1990s I was being given a tour of an Naval Aviation operation and offered to take our guide into town with us and buy him lunch. He said he was unable as was currently in flight suit (obvious to us) but that he had a meeting to get back to after lunch and wouldn't have time to change into khakis for town, lunch and get back in time.
I remember when servicepeople traveled either in uniform or "business casual" type civvies. Man, I wander through airports anymore and I see USAF, army etc folks - large groups of them - looking like they've just been plucked up out of the sand in their desert cammies and sand boots. I can see that from a comfort level, it's just I'm used to the old days when they traveled in more formal dress so it's noticeable. About the only time I see servicepeople in any kind of Class A's, crackerjacks or even class B's anymore in terminals is when they're coming fresh from basic.
