Hello

 

Any idea if this Australian made EM shirt was only issued on the PTO ?

 

Any use of it in the ETO ?

 

Thanks

These may have been made for issuance in the PTO for use by aircrew members flying missions at high altitudes where it still got very cold even if it was hot on the ground.

 

If these were made of wool, maybe they were taking advantage of the wool industry in Australia to make clothing for use in the ETO.
