The gray working uniform for women, made of gray and white seersucker, first introduced during the war, now took the form of a one-piece shirtmaker style dress with short sleeves. The elaborate dress uniforms of earlier times seem to have no place in the world of today.

The frock coat, which had served others of the Navy for so many years for full dress and dress until early in 1941, did not reappear in the 1951 instructions and probably never will. One change which indicated an easing of wartime restrictions was the inclusion in the 1951 order of an evening dress uniform for both male and female officers. Male officers were given a khaki service dress uniform for warm weather use. The basic uniform for all officers, male and female, were the blue and white service with provision for working dress. The items included ward uniforms with their accompanying blue capes and a special dress for flight nurses. Under the section on the dress of women officers, certain items of clothing were to be worn only by nurses. In recognition of the excellent performance of women in the Naval Reserve and the continued need for their services in a time of unsettled world conditions, Congress on 12 June 1948, authorized regular status for women of the Navy, both officer and enlisted. Enlisted women’s dress was in Chapter 13.
Under the 1951 order, all women officers, Nurses and WAVES, were covered in single chapter, No. The first comprehensive and completely illustrated uniform regulation of the post-war period was that approved on 17 August 1951. Chapter XI of the 1947 instructions covered the dress of the Navy Nurse Corps, but there was no mention of dress for the WAVES whose uniforms were covered in a separate publication. Under the heading of working dress, both khakis and grays were authorized. The blue and white service uniforms were to be used for the formal occasions. Under the 1947 order, the formal type uniforms which had appeared in the 1941 instructions, and which had not been worn during the war years, were omitted. The 1947 order was the long needed revision, but when it became available, it was evident that funds were limited! There were no illustrations as there had been for many years and the format was not so complete as earlier editions. On 21 March 1947, all ships and stations were advised by the Bureau of Naval Personnel that, as soon as funds were available, a completely up-to-date uniform instruction would be released. Several general revisions of the 1941 Regulations had been released in an attempt to bring essential portions of the many times modified and revised instructions up to date. If you’ve never heard a Merlin engine growl or seen a B-17 fly a stately pass across an airfield, this is the summer to do it.The first uniform instruction issued after World War II was dated and was approved by Secretary of the Navy Forrestal. This year, the 70th anniversary of Allied victory in World War II, warbirds are flying demonstrations in towns and cities across the country, including a flyover of the National Mall in Washington D.C. Museums across the country have preserved and display these airplanes some are exhibited in public spaces like Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport, where a solitary F4F Wildcat honors Navy Medal of Honor winner Butch O’Hare. Below are 25 of the most celebrated types, most of them still flying today. The United States produced more than 300,000 airplanes in World War II. Combat aircraft that were everyday companions to airmen in the World War II generation have become extraordinary treasures to many in the next: symbols of the courage and sacrifice that even younger generations have come to regard as part of the national identity.
