Yeah Brenden, but why do they use blue in the drab uniforms? Maybe they thought AF always wore blue... |

I thought the blue uniforms came out in the 50's? and during the 40's it was olive drab/khaki? Happy to be corrected. |

Brenden: "I thought the blue uniforms came out in the 50's? and during the 40's it was olive drab/khaki? Happy to be corrected." The lightweight/summer drab uniform was in until 1970s/1980s. After that it became the year-round blue uniform, with jacket as required. The point is during WWII, in the tropics it was drabs, not blue. |
