Was wondering if anyone knew to the extent that coveralls with the ERDL pattern were used in vietnam and who used them? I assume they saw a bulk of their use by tankers or pilots, but did SF use them? How common were they?

The USAF (Army also?) had a one piece ERDL or similar camouflage flight suit during the Vietnam War. It

may have been fire resistant and possibly designated CWU-26/P or CWU-29/P. CWU stands for Clothing Wear

Unit. This camouflage flight suit was probably introduced around 1967. Hope this helps.

Only one i ever saw in person was Thai made, and most likely a pilot's, i always thought since we had so many aviation facilities there. It was poplin if i recall.
