[Milsurplus] 1942 aircraft radio installation photo

[Tom Dawson]

Striped Pants (or overalls)

My father had a set of flight overalls with that kind of striping on them. 
He had been both a radio operator and radio mechanic (also taught Morse at 
Sioux Falls, SD).  Flew B-17's on ferry missions across the Atlantic.
