Hi All,

I am thinning my collection out and I need to know what this style of jacket is. That way I can describe it correctly here. All I know is that it is an officer summer/desert/jungle tunic.

Thank you,

Mike

looks like a USAF issue summer bush jacket from the 1950's 1960's

Brigadier General Keith K. Compton, USAF, arriving at Ben Guerir Air Base, Morocco, ca. 1959. General Compton is wearing the USAF's new Cotton Summer Service Jacket (also seen on the partially obscured officer standing next to him in the first picture). More colloquially called the "bush jacket," this innovation is described in Air Force Manual 35-10, dated 5 May 1959.
