korea drab Posted September 24, 2011 Author Share #35 Posted September 24, 2011 Now getting back ground information on this cloth type is not easy.I have contact many military offices.The only so far that was very helpfull was the QM museum.They send me the entire exercise Yukon" report. This is a pre test series on the EX-48 clthing system exercise.It took place in Alaska 1947-1948. In this time the modern cold weather clthing system was born!

korea drab Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share #38 Posted October 13, 2011 Picked up the intermediate jacket today!What a gem :w00t: I remeber back in 2008 I asked about a strange jacket liner on sell on ebay. Visit My Website Now it ended up to get that question as well. Of interest as Craig pointet then out is that the liner has the buttons and not the shell. In all is a mix of pile liner jacket M-1943,M-1951 jacket(press buttons and cuffs) and M-1948 parka(small pocket on the arm) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
