Do I see an armored triangle on his jacket? 

Yes, I am looking for his jacket or a similar one, but I'm just hoping that someone on here has a jacket that is the same or a jacket I understand this is very difficult with the lack of info 

So you are looking for the actual jacket/uniform worn by your grandfather? I can’t even guess how many individuals named Hughes wore a uniform.  

Looks like a nice one. 

In this time frame, to include Vietnam, what Branch were Army Air Controllers in, you know the guys in the tall towers directing and overseeing take offs and landings, the MOS we're seeing then is 93B, where did they take AIT, can't find nothing on this, were they Signal Corps, Transportation Corps, perhaps Branch Unassigned???? can't find nothing on this either. We assume now since the forming of a specific Aviation Branch in the 1980s the ATC are from that branch, correct?

Its no problem you had no idea 

do you think this could help me get my hands on his jacket?
