Stupid question: was the AF back then that lax with the military haircut or is that just Hollywood? I googled but the pictures I saw they all had pilot helmets on.

I always thought that the super strict high and tight or buzzcut was only during bootcamp and that once you’re on a deployment somewhere things get much more casual, but Idk

I think they didn't care to how their hair looked when they knew a large portion of them wouldn't make it back from each mission.

Also, remember that the US military was ramping up from a small professional force. Most of the officers were civilians just a couple of years before.
