Recommended Posts

Just got back from a military show in Calgary.

My display of U.S. Army Air Force Flight Jackets was awarded Best of Show.

It includes some painted A-2's featured in flight art books, Shearling B-3, B-6, AN-J-4, D-1.

Cable Raincoat A-2, AN-6552, B-10, B-15, and a CBI Painted D-1 I had posted previously.

Cheers

Wes

Nice Alonzo,

 

I have several you listed and enjoy them all.

 

Can I see more pictures of your CBI items.

or point me to the D1 you posted before.

 

I have a nice 14th AF A2 Jacket with the CBI patch, flying tigers patch and the Blood Chits inside.

It was a fellow pilot of my Uncle's unit, 27th Troop Carrier SQ. serving in China.

 

thus my interest.

 

thanks,
