firefighter Posted October 16, 2015 Share #2 Posted October 16, 2015 Not an expert but I think Navy/MC WW2 or Korean War era? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBookGuy Posted October 18, 2015 Share #4 Posted October 18, 2015 It cannot be pre-1951. US Navy had the Spec. -5390 (started with suffix S- , subsequently C-5390) in early 1951, so perhaps the earliest suits were issued in 1951 as well. Since there is no indication of any -5390A , most certainly the -5390B was the very first of the interesting -5390 family of Navy and Marines flight suits. -5390B is the only among them having buttoned chest pockets.

z19 Posted February 5, 2020 Share #6 Posted February 5, 2020 I had one exactly like this except for the tag several years ago. It was named to a WWII USMC Recon pilot. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
