    Description

    This is a 1988 dated Australian flight suit in excellent condition.
    This same model suit was around during the Vietnam War and the Australian War Memorial site has this same model suit, dated 1968, that was worn by a USAF pilot
    in Vietnam
    who had traded for it w
    hile training with the RAAF.
    It’s obvious why a person would want to wear this in Vietnam. The material is
    utlra
    lightweight and was probably much more comfortable than even the standard GI summer flight suit.
