northcoastaero Posted December 26, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 26, 2012 Looks to be a 1950s USN/USMC flightsuit. I believe they were also made in orange. Looks like the stencil markings are: NARTU UPS 21 . Could stand for Naval Air Reserve Trailing Unit?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hink441 Posted December 30, 2012 Share #6 Posted December 30, 2012 I think it might be NARTU OPS #21. Naval Air Reserve Training Unit, Operations Department, suit number 21. Probably an unassigned flight suit used by anyone who needed one. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
