THIS IS A FAIRLY RARE RI-D FLYER\'S EXPOSURE SUIT. THIS IS A BRIGHT YELLOW WATERPROOF FABRIC SUIT WITH ATTACHED BOOTS AND GLOVES- SIMILAR TO TODAY\'S IMPERIAL STYLE SUIT BUT NOT NEOPRENE. INSTRUCTIONS SAY TO STEP INTO SUIT AND CINCH NECK AREA TIGHT- IT IS A REALLY LOOSE \"GUMBY\" SUIT. IT IS A BRIGHT YELLOW- LATER CHANGED TO ORANGE BECAUSE THIS YELLOW WAS CALLED \"YUM-YUM YELLOW\" TO THE SHARKS. THE OUTER CONTAINER IS UNOPENED AND UNUSED BUT THE YELLOW COVERING HAS DARKENED AND IS VERY FRAGILE. I HAVE NEVER HAD ANOTHER ONE OF THIS STYLE STILL IN THE WRAPPER. BECAUSE IT HAS A USAF TAG I ASSUME IT WAS FROM-1947-1955?\"SUIT,FLYING, EXPOSURE\"\"R1-D\"\"STOCK #6380-710500-55\"\"AVIATORS CLOTHING\"\"USAF\"
