I’m certainly no fashion consultant but those pants with the knee socks look pretty odd. The only guy who looks good has the flight suit on. The jackets however are pretty cool.

They look formidable...tough gents for sure. Thanks Mac.

An interesting side note here, I own an SE5 WWI propeller that was on a plane flown by Carl Spaatz. I have loaned it to an air museum in CA that also has a propeller shop.
