Question Were the USMC Pilot uniforms the same as the infantry/ground forces uniforms?
I recently went to an auction and purchased the ribbon bars, Captians shoulder bars, USMC collar insignia, and small Captains bars for the overseas cap from a USMC in WWII who was a pilot with the Navy. My question: Can I get any USMC tunic and put the bars, rank, etc onto the uniform, OR is the USMC Pilot uniform different from the ground troops uniforms (different color green, different buttons, etc)? Thanks in advance for any help! This guy had the Air Medal with star, Distinguished Flying Cross with star, Navy Presidential unit citation with star, and the other ‘regulars’ (victory, asiatic-pacific, etc). The only thing not in the lot was the WINGS!! I guess they kept those or they got lost through the years.
