What, am I dating myself?  That was the best lookin' uniform the Air Force ever had.  Rock Hudson looked looked terrific wearing it in "Strategic Air Command".  Or was it Gathering of Eagles?   ;D

Gee, at least I got the name of the movie right.  I didn't mean to slight General Stewart.  Rock was in one AF movie where he wore the tans (I hope).   ;D

I checked IMDB, Rock Hudson wore the uniform in "A Gathering of Eagles", playing a wing commander!

If you stand for nothing, you will fall for anything.
To err is human, to blame someone else shows good management skills.

Hark!  Back in the days of yore I had the moniker "Senior Grump" on my filing cabinet.
Who is this person from my mysterious past, he asks?  Is it Brian Stover?

Those were the short-sleeved 505's Rock Hudson was wearing in "A Gathering of Eagles".   I don't remember the silvertans being worn in that movie at all.  On the other hand Jimmy Stewart, Frank Lovejoy and others did wear the silvertans quite an bit in "Strategic Air Command". Very different uniform.
