Recently acquired this 89th jacket and pants belonging to Lt. Einar Jentoft Anderson. In the pocket was this note to self about commanding a gun salute. Very interesting. 

Not overlooked, just never seen!  These are rare birds to be sure! Thanks for sharing.

Hello, I know a lot of attention is paid to the standard and reinforced M42 jump suit.  So, I thought I would share this example of the rarer M41 that often gets overlooked. It’s the precursor to the M42 and far rarer. It was issued in very limited quantity. This set belonged to a 502 officer. The pocket flap design and zipper leg cuffs are its main distinctive features over the M42.  Enjoy! 

Great info and pictures. This helps a lot! Thank you for everyone’s comments 

As others have already stated there were no Airborne specific gloves manufactured. PGC- I have never seen photos evidence that fur lined gloves were used by Airborne troops although that doesn't mean they were not used if privately purchased which I am guessing is the case in your example. Plus it would be difficult to see in a photo. :) To my knowledge, there were supposedly two versions used unlined and lined. Each had an adjustable wrist strap. The unlined version were the ones most commonly seen. Not sure if this will be helpful but here is a photo reference out of Gary Howards book showing the differences (black & white photo).  The other two pictures are similar types of leather gloves I have come across. 

Troops called these ZOOT SUITES,   Very unbpopular due to having to discards your gear in order to poop.

I would go with Air Force Outstanding Unit Award. As far as I know yan Armed Forces Outstanding Unit Award does not exist. And, yes, depending on this officer's assignment he could very well have received the Air Force award. He could have served in Vietnam for up to 11 months.

Need a little Help.      I just received an army officers record from 1945-72.  He started off in the navy, went to the army as an EM in 1951 then to OCS.  He was a signal officer in Vietnam.      The record list he was awarded an “A F outstanding unit emblem”. Anyone know if this is actually an Air Force Outstanding Unit emblem or could it mean Armed Forces, (even tough I’m not sure what unit award it would be exactly).   Also I do not know when he was awarded it but looks like he only spent about 6 months in Vietnam with no campaign stars noted.   I know anything is possible but would an Army Officer receive this award?   Thanks.
