Jacket and trousers ID

What era is this jacket. 3 of 6 ribbons are top/middle American Defense top/right American campaign bottom/left WWII Victory. What are the other 3 ribbons? Is it Army Air Corp or Air Force? Also, what are these trousers? The trousers have elastic cuffs.

This is my best guess of the ribbons allowing for a color variation in the Armed Forces Reserve Medal and the US Air Force jacket (post 1947). He served as a pilot for at least 15 years to be rated as a Command Pilot.


Army Good Conduct, American Defense, American Campaign

WWII Victory, Armed Forces Reserve, National Defense

These pants look like ones we could sometimes buy at the PX in the late 50's or early '60's. We usually had elastic rings which were cheaper (but not as cool) as the factory made. We used them for "blousing" our pants when wearing our fatigues with jump boots. We had them for our drill team, I think we called them paratrooper legs or blousing garters, i don't remember for sure.
