Both tunics are of the World War One era high collar wool twill pattern, and bear collar badges for the Aviation Section of the Army Signals Corps as well as early silver bullion pilot's wings above the left breast pocket. Before earning their status as an individual corps of the Army, the flight assets of the Army were subordinate to the Signal Corps. 1) Army tunic with trousers, outfitted with an Aviation Section Major. No maker's marks are visible on the inside though the left sleeve bears a bullion/embroidered Third Army insignia above a pair of Overseas Service chevrons, indicating a year abroad. The collar is fitted with brass "U.S.R." pins near the Aviation Section pins, and the left pocket is fitted with a French Croix du Guerre, a Sons of Union Veterans War Service Medal, a small Aviation Section pin and a World War One Victory Medal with bars for Aisne, Champaine-Marne, Aisne-Marne, Meuse-Argonne, and "DEFENSIVE SECTOR" (for general combat). Tucked inside the right breast pocket is a silk handkerchief, decorated with an American flight roundel, the 3rd Army insignia, and the text "Fourth Air Park" and "Coblenz 1919"; Coblenz was occupied by the Third Army and French forces immediately after the Armistice was enacted, with the intention of immediately resuming combat operations against the Germans if peace talks broke down, and the aviation units of the 3rd would be at the heart of the post-WWI Army Air Service. 2) Paris-made First Lieutenant's tunic, bearing tags for Buisson & Delorme inside the collar and the left breast pocket, with a set of silver finished rank bars, a blue felt/silver bullion shoulder insignia for the III Corps, and a set of four silver service chevrons (2 years service.
