Boeing yellow L-2B. Prototype for lather NASA Jackets (Apollo period).

There is a brief scene in the movie Apollo 13 when Tom Hanks comes home to tell his wife they have been moved up to the prime crew of Apollo 13. He is wearing the Nasa yellow jacket. I never studied the scene that closely, but I thought it was an MA-1. Maybe it is an L-2B.
