Reddy kilowatt in USAF!

On its K-2B flight suit (spéc. Mil-S-6265D), colonel Ralph K. Watts (USAF) has added a patch of some american electrical companies character, Reddy Kilowatt. This character has been created in 1926. It is still today a topic of collection.

Colonel Watts was an F-4s pilot (photo recon version of the P-38 fighter) and then of the photo recon version of B-17 during the Pacific war. Remained in the Air Force after the war, it flew into supersonic on F-104 at the end of the fifties.

The HGU-2/P helmet, displayed on next pictures, yet did not receive the Sierra receivers kit. The MBU-3/P o2 mask is still attached there by leather pads and screwed hooks.
