Bebel Posted November 7, 2014 Share #31 Posted November 7, 2014 Thank you for sharing this wonderful jacket. Amazing, particulary with stories that it could tell to us all... Waiting to read some logbooks pages! Franck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDK Posted November 7, 2014 Share #32 Posted November 7, 2014 Great Logbook! I love it when they fill in as many details as your grandfather did. Some have just the basics written in them but ones like this are very special. You are very lucky to have it along with his flight jacket. It makes for a really great grouping. Thanks for sharing the photos. JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
