[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2353464, member: 13284"] Nice...if the jacket does not have a zipper (like the M1951) it will likely be an M1950 if it was issued during the KW era. The M1950 is nearly identical to the M1943 only it has buttons on the interior for installation of the wool liner. Since he was USAF and not an infantryman there is probably a chance that it could still be an M1943 since there wouldn't be as much need for the liner. There was also a color change between the M1943 and M1950 and I'm not sure how religiously the field jackets would have been replaced based on color matching the current issued uniforms. [/QUOTE]
