The other is that he permitted an enlisted man in the plane which is against regulations in combat. I choose to think that the last reason is the right one.

If they can fix me up ok. Let me know how much it is and I will either send the money or you can draw it out of my account. I think the coats run around $35 or $40. They can be changed to an officers coat with just a few changes. I imagine Uncle Leslie knows all about them, it is a regular cadet blouse. The cap is just like an officers only with a blue band and cadet emblem.
