On 22 June 1924, the Chief of the Bureau of Aeronautics directed a letter to the Secretary of the Navy strongly recommending the authorization of a khaki uniform for summer wear and a heavier one for cold weather. He suggested that such a uniform could be used to advantage by all officers whose duties involved working with machinery. This idea became a reality just prior to World War II! A working dress was authorized on 8 April 1925 for “Naval Aviators, Observers and Other Officers detailed to duty involving flying.” The forestry green winter coat has bellows pleats in the back at the shoulders to permit a greater freedom of movement. Under the 1925 change, only breeches and puttees were to be worn with the aviation coats. A change of 1 May 1929 permitted regular trousers to be worn. Pictures serve as part of the description.
