Wait, you're saying movies are exaggerated? Who knew??? :eeek:
Don't even get me started on that movie! Why they went with fiction when they could of made a film about the capture of U505 with all the action and intrigue you could want! U505 is something we Americans can be justifiably proud of.
Just thought of something... Can anybody here let me know when the Coast Guard began issuing G1s to their aircrew? I'm not sure if the Coast Guard G1s existed back in the 50s and 60s. Thanks!
The US Coast Guard issued G1s have hidden hand warmer pockets behind the patch pockets.
Still quite expensive for a secondhand copy. There was a big thread on this over on VLJ recently if that is any help.
Treetopflyer, thanks for the info.
When I was searching about the NATOPS doc. I've found and downloaded an .pdf file who contains the "OPNAVINST 3710.7U" doc. and I'll take a look now what is in it.
Here's the link of the web site where I've downloaded it if someone else are interested, there's a lot of information there.:
