[Milsurplus] 1942 aircraft radio installation photo

[B Smith]

The pants do look striped but the photo just high 
lights  out the material pattern of the the 
maintenance dungaree, it was a one piece coverall 
with a belt around the middle, sort of like a 
flight suit.
The pull over was made out of very  rugged 
material, it was  often worn over the uniform of 
the day and sometimes worn by its self.
