Hi all,
Does any one know what the name of this early CWU 1/P type flight suit is, this one has oxygen tap plus other things not seen on CWU 1/P flight suits, photo taken in 1956.


Thanks

I can't figure it out, it pre dates the CWU-1/P by about a year, early version K-2B's at this time still had the tab ... my best guess is a prototype.
