1. Exquisite 2 piece Party Suit attributed to 21st Special Operations Squadron pilot Lt. Col. Jerry H. Carlile. Carlile was nominated to the Air Commado Association Hall of Fame for his contributions to the US Air Force and Special Operations. He participated in the first combat deployment of Modern Air Commandos, which took place in November 1961 at Bien Hoa, South Vietnam. Carlile was the Project Officer and test pilot tasked with the conversion of WW2 era B-26 era into the B-26 K for use in Air Commando missions. He flew a one year tour out of NKP with the 21st SOS, going "over the fence" into Laos and Cambodia, as well as North Vietnam. (These missions would be in support of MACVSOG operations.) He eventually flew 3 tours with the 21st SOS. The 21st SOS participated in the evacution of Saigon in 1975. Truly his participation in Southeast Asia was "The First and the Last", to borrow a phrase from Adolf Galland. It is believed that no other person participated for such a long period of time in continous Air Commando operations.
  The party suit is two piece construction, no label, but obviously Thai tailored and embroidered. Here is an interesting photo of this exact style of party suit in wear at NKP circa 1970. There is a period repair where the label used to be, otherwise all else is in extra fine condition. All zippers and snaps are complete and in working order. All insignia is direct embroidered, including Command Pilot wings, name, Thai flag on left shoulder, "69- NKP- 70" on right shoulder, 21st SOS call sign Dusty on right breast, and 11" tall Dust Devil on back. One of the greatest examples of Thai embroidery art I have ever seen. The stuff of legends- $1275.00
