A couple 37J1 pix I have not seen previously. These came from someone on Instagram who called them all "Zielinskys" (sic).
In the first pic you get a sense of the jacket's poor image when issued to flight cadets as hand-me-downs. They were often dingy and had whatever replacement knits were available. To an otherwise squared-away cadet they must have been an embarrassing reminder that he had not yet earned his leather.
This earlier pic shows how dashing the 37J could be in regular service use, with the white flying scarves.
