You don’t know your history... those uniforms resemble the Air Service uniforms of Billy Mitchell. I still don’t like them.

The problem is trying to make dark blue look like Army Air Corps. It doesn't work, any more than Gen McPeak's uniform changes. It was ugly. They should go back to olive drab.

AF Mess Dress is pretty sharp because it's so well-tailored, but we called our baggy blue service dress "bus driver suits".
