During the first years of [[WORLD WAR II]], United States Naval Aviators were known by many names. &quot;Brown-Shoe-Aviator&quot; referred to the brown oxfords worn only by the naval aviators; &#039;regular&#039; naval officers wore black shoes.<br /> <br /> The use of &#039;Airedale&#039; to describe naval aviators, flight crewmen and later, any flight deck crewmen who were part of carrier operations, appears as early as 1940. <br /> <br /> [[Category: Terms]]</div>
