B-36 Crews in Flight Suits

[herk115]

Folks,

I just found these great shots of some B-36 crews. There were no captions so I don't know when and where they were taken, nor what type flight suits and jackets they were wearing. Enjoy, and if these have already been posted to the forum in the past, I apologize.

Hi Henk,
Always loved the early SAC style and the B-36 wish we had one in UK.

Thanks, Stu.

Say, in the top photo, is that James Stewart, front row, second from right?

Don't think so-that chap is a captain, Stewart would have held a higher rank by that time-he made brigadier general in the USAF Reserve, and was a colonel by the end of the War. I was looking out for him in those pics, too.

Suits are sage green L-1B and blue L-1A (medium), early K-2B (light). Jackets are early MA-1, I guess.
Thank you for all photos.
