My grandfather's uniform during the war??

Hello, I have some questions about what kind of uniform, more specifically, what kind of hat/headgear my grandpa may have worn or been issued to him as his "official uniform". I asked my father what exactly grandpa did during the war and he said all he knew was that he flew in airplanes and his job was to look for German subs. I dont think he ever flew the planes just looked for subs.

Would his uniform/headgear be any different than standard issue uniform? While in the plane would he be wearing something different/specific? Any links, images, anything would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

Hello, for which country? USAAF , Raf etc... ?

 

I think it would depend on what country and what service he was in. I know the USN wore different headgear than the USAAF did for crew members

 

Yea I guess that's an important detail to include...United States

 

Was he USAAC/USAAF or USN? As both flew ASW aircraft.

 

Didn't the USCG also fly ASW patrols?

 

Yes they did.

 

For that matter, so did the Civil Air Patrol, and they had their own uniforms.
