Description

This is an original WWII U.S. Army Air Force enlisted man's M37 service shirt. It is constructed of a "mustard" color wool flannel material and features a gas flap. Its manufacturer's label has unfortunately faded beyond legibility. It is a size 15 1/2 x 33 but please refer to the Measurements section for more details. It retains its original USAAF shoulder sleeve insignia and a mechanic specialist's patch on the wearer's right cuff. Inscribed beneath the collar and on the placket's interior is the original owner's name, Army Service Number, and laundry number. The markings have faded with time, but the shirt appears to be identified to an "M. Prosser" with a laundry number of "P-6331". A search of the National Archives unfortunately did not reveal a match.
