PBY-Aleutians.jpg Hello.
Found these pics of USN aircrew from WW2 (?) wearing shearling jackets. I think not D-1 or B-6. Any ideas? PBY-Catalina-crew-Aleutians.jpg

If they are Navy jackets then they are almost certainly m444's. This is a light jacket as opposed to the heavy m445 with the much larger collar. The man standing at the top looks like he is wearing an m445.
Anj4 's have leather cuffs, the m jackets are sheepskin as seen where one bloke has his cuffs turned up.
