Captain
TWA, 1960s
Unlike uniforms for women, those worn by male flight crew members remained essentially unchanged during the 1960s. This typically conservative uniform was worn by Trans World Airlines Capt. George Duvall, who flew Pope Paul VI during the Pontiff’s visit to the United States in 1965.
