I was never in the USAFR nor their pipe band, so no.

I read somewhere that this tartan is also known as the "Lady Jane." That in itself reminds me of one of my favorite band's best albums...

Am I just reaching for straws with that last one? Perhaps.

I have a book of uniform plates from the Company of Military Historians, and one of them depicts the USAFR Pipes and Drums in the 1960's; before they adopted the "Lady Jane" tartan, the band wore the Mitchell Tartan, in honour of General William "Billy" Mitchell, who was one of the advocates of modern air power.

The Billy Mitchell Scottish Pipe Band wears the Mitchell Tartan:

Russells, Roses and Galbraiths will recognise the tartan, as it is also "theirs" as well!
