Default A Flight Suit Belonging To A Former Joint Chiefs Of Staff Under 2 Presidents

Years ago I purchased an Army Airforce Uniform collection. Just recently I discovered one flight suit had the name 'D.C. Jones'. I researched and found out there was only one D.C. Jones in the Army Airforce. The flight suit was worn during 1943 when he was with the Army Airforce serving before and during WW2 and later Korea. It was the property of the Air Force General who served as Senior Commanding General and during Viet Nam and directed the failed desert rescue of our hostages in Iran~Always check the patches and pockets!https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_C._Jones
