AIR AMERICA CAP

During the Vietnam War, the CIA proprietary airline Air America flew a variety of missions in the Far East. These missions ranged from covert CIA operations to overt air transportation contracted by the Republic of Vietnam and various US government agencies. Because of the tropical climate, Air America pilots favored comfortable attire -- shorts and a baseball cap (like the one shown above) -- rather than their official uniforms.
