Historical Footnotes
In World War Two, British Civilians (I have friends in England) commented that our Uniforms are sharp, well defined, and classy that many of the British Women
(I know a few) all love the Eisenhower "IKE" Jacket and they commented that the Dress Uniform of Dark Green Jacket, Beige Pants, and Brown Shoes makes a fashion sense - everywhere our Servicemen goes. Not, only that ... Our Navy had Beige Jackets, Beige Pants, and sharp Shoulder Boards, with shiny insignia ... and so forth ...
They even made comments like .... over here ... over dressed ... and over sexed.
Many British Servicemen resented the facts that their women simply adore our men in uniform.
Scene from Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo
Admiral Nimitz - Excellent Example of a Navy Uniform
General Eisenhower - Great Picture of Him
Note: This is the 1st picture of him - when he got promoted to the rank of
General of the Army - 5 star rank equivalent of a Field Marshal in the British Army.
In the Summer of 45, General Patton was summoned by the King George
dressing like this ... to receive several awards that were bestowed by Commonwealth of England, British Army, and so forth ...
many citizens in the United Kingdom was stunned by his appearance.
