I always like those pre war uniforms, especially the Donald Duck Hats! When I would fly the Salt Lake air show, there was one Living History guy that did the pre war Navy uniform, complete with USS Utah hat. A nice tribute to the ship and men still entombed on her on the other side of Pearl Harbor, the forgotten ship!
