Introduced in 1968, the two-piece OG-106 Hot Weather Flyer's Uniform was designed to improve upon the wearability and comfort of the coveralls which were issued prior. Two patterns were produced, including the 1st pattern (such as this) and a 2nd pattern which featured a zip closure on either pocket instead of velcro-secured flaps. Primarily used by helicopter pilots and crewmen until the end of the war and beyond.
