Does anyone have any color references for the US Army Air Corps uniforms for the first world war? I am having some real trouble finding any real reference for them for some reason. Thanks again.

The uniforms would be the same color khaki as the rest of the US Army at that time.

Jason, I could post some plates, but my scanner is down ATM; here's a pic of Rickenbacker's uniform

Jason, do you still need references? If so I can post a scan of a colour plate for you.

I've done it anyway

Hope this helps,

Billy, as always, you are a life saver!! I got the Rickenbacker figure and I have only seen it painted plain brown and I was hoping there would be the dark chocolate jacket and you found it!!! Thanks again!! I'll be hitting you up soon for a french WWI pilot and medals here soon!! Hopefully youll have some info on that!!! Thanks again!

Your welcome Jason.

I go away to work on monday/tuesday for a month so if you tell me what you are specifically looking for ref. French pilot I'll see what I have before I go. Otherwise it won't be until I get back in the new year.

Found this totally by accident,
