I have an near mint original B3 with lieutenant's rank insignia on the shoulder tags.

The "arctic" B-3 was only in service for a few years in the mid-late 1930s. (It wasn't meant specifically for use in northern climates, despite the nickname.)

The undyed white sheepskin began to look dingy very fast, so all those in use were dyed brown, as were all subsequent contracts.

The Air Corps was very small and underfunded in the 30s, so pictures of unit operations are rare, but not unheard of.

Pulpo, go here on the Vintage Leather Jackets forum and you will see pictures of then Lt. Col. Hap Arnold in a white B-3 and A-3 trousers, taken in 1935.

I asked the poster to allow me to repost the pix here but he didn't answer.
