Air Corps Pilot In Camo Overalls New Guinea

[patches]

A P.J. O'Conner of the 110th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron 5th Air Force New Guinea sometime in 1943, wearing the Camo. O'Conner an Bell P-39 Airacobra pilot, can't find anything on him other then a tiny image of his from a unit roster poster. Image had to be enlarged as you see, thus degrading the quality I'm sorry to say.

 

[Mr. Bushido]

Thank you for sharing.

 

I see him wearing the M1942 jungle suit.

I've never seen a pilot wear it, but I thought it looked like a flight suit, except for the elements that could get caught on switches and such.

 

Also, I have what looks like a zipper around the holster belt in the photo.

It appears to have a leather tab attached to it, and I'm wondering if it's original or added by pilot.
