1971 Vietnam War Vintage OG-106 Nomex Helicopter Pilot Shirt - Small

Genuine US Military issue

Dated 1971

Introduced in 1968, the two-piece OG-106 Hot Weather Flyer's Uniform was designed to improve upon the wearability and comfort of the coveralls which were issued prior. Two patterns were produced including the 1st pattern (such as this) and a 2nd pattern which featured a zip closure on either pocket instead of velcro-secured flaps. Primarily used by helicopter pilots and crewmen until the end of the war and beyond.

Very good condition with light wear. All buttons, zips, fittings and fixtures are present. The contract label is present and legible. There is some very light, sporadic discolouration. There are two small holes on the back as shown.
