In the early days of the VN conflict the Army crews used one of two garments, the K2B flight suit, which is close to the current CWU-27 suit, but not the same, pointy rather than rounded collar points being one, more baggy as depicted in the picture but not on the figure posted, or regular fatigues. The 2 piece nomex wouldn't have hit the theater of operations until mid to late 60's. In the Book Chickenhawk, Bob Mason describes the problems of procuring proper gear, as a lot of the guys behind the lines would take the gear for themselves, and the front line guys had to struggle to find any...

 

Anyway, Either figure can be used. Paint one flight suit bright orange for that interesting contrast they had...

 

My 2 Cents.
