Regarding the authenticity of the naval uniforms in the opera: I'm glad you have conducted so much research, as often navy uniforms in opera and theater are a joke. Witness Pinkerton in Butterfly and the atrocious navy uniforms in the current production of South Pacific. However, I do have 2 concerns about Cdr McFall's uniforms. You show him in dress whites with aiguillettes. Aiguillettes are only worn by aides to the President, military attaches and aides to Flag Officers. They are only owrn while the person is in that position. None of those are flying billets, so Cdr McFall should not have been wearing them when shot down.
ReplyDeleteThe leather jacket given to Naval Aviators is a Flight Jacket NOT a Bomber Jacket.
