Heli crews wore them alot before the invention of the chicken plate Yeah that's what I posted the 50s Navy/Marine Corp Aviator Flak Jacket. We see what the problem was, you spelled Buaer as Bauer in your reply you'll note, thus my bewilderment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Problemo, happens to us all, to me especially, and that's without using an auto correct , like blabbering on and on about one army division while the whole time I read the division and sub unit wrong, till I finally released I got the units mixed up .

Ryan Reese Posted April 1, 2022 Share #106 Posted April 1, 2022 Excellent photos Patches, thank you for sharing! You only helped encourage me to find one and I landed it today. Unissued 1969 identical to the ones posted at the beginning of this thread in 2013. I dug through about 80 ERDL covers and couldn't believe that I found this one '69. I'll post a separate thread comparing the 6 different ERDL patterns that I have from 1969-1980. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
