coolman Posted February 18, 2009 Share #26 Posted February 18, 2009 Hey No problem I was going go back and edit my post, I didnt want to come across as an jearkhead! , sorry if it sounded that way. Yea I really hate those books he did, puts out alot of bad information for sure!!! The only good part of it was the AFSP since he was one he at least got that part right but I agreee the maple leaf/Mitchel pattern is a pretty cool and under rated camo pattern for sure!!!! thanks, paul no problem paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beogam Posted February 21, 2009 Share #36 Posted February 21, 2009 Pluto .Your jacket is a one of a kind . You ARE the lucky man . Mike Your trousers stump me . It is the first time I have seen this print of this pattern . The cut is of course US WW2 Herring bone camouflage trouser , I wonder if they are a Viet attempt at a copy ,late 50s ?? Are the buttons Viet type .? Great colors on these bad boys . They are rich . Maybee Japanese as they dont look US manufactured . These would benifit from a little inspection . owen Hi Owen Some pics of my pants like Mike one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norton Posted June 3, 2011 Share #42 Posted June 3, 2011 A Army Signal Corps film about Advisors in Vietnam. At frame 10.59 thru 11.06 you can see the American Advisor wearing what looks like a Mitchell jacket. I may be wrong but it does not look like duck Hunter, Beogam or Tiger stripe. The film was released in December 1964 so I assume the it was filmed in the summer of 1964. The other film is about advisors and has great shot of a SVN Army officer wearing what looks like a French copy of a British WW 2 para jacket. You see the jacket at frame 2.45 By the way I used to watch the BIG PICTURE on Sunday mornings in the pre-cable only three TV channel days of the 60s. http://www.archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.2569847 http://www.archive.org/details/gov.archives.arc.2569820 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton Posted June 29, 2011 Share #43 Posted June 29, 2011 Brown side only used by a USAF carabou C7A enlisted crewman on missions outside of South Vietnam in 1968. He says he was issued a Green Side only as well. He cannot find that at this time but is looking. He posted a photo of this with some other non related items on an other board. I asked him if he could take a photo of the top alone and post it. He noted the year he used it was 1968 and it was a hot uniform. Also he told me he was issued one each Duck Hunter and Tiger Stripe set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
