Anyone know about naval aviators serving in 90th Bomb group?

Thanks to some contributors on this board, I've been able learn extensively about my wife's uncle, 2nd Lt Joseph Horgan. However, there is a single mystery that I can't find information about: I have a photo portrait of him, but he is wearing a white US naval aviator cadet uniform.
I'm pretty much 100% convinced it's a US navy uniform (based on on cap type, emblem, collar, pocket location, epaulet, etc, and indeed it is identical to the photo portrait of George H W Bush: https://www.history.navy.mil/content/hi ... 815995.jpg).
I'm assuming a naval uniform cannot be worn unless you are in the US Navy. Did the 90th Bomb group receive transferred US Navy aviators? Does anyone know anything about this?
