willysmb44 Posted May 12, 2016 Share #31 Posted May 12, 2016 Freaking sweet jacket. as a life member of the 91st association as well as having flown on the Collings look-alike B-17, I love it! to have a Starcer war time painted A-2 ...Insane...and just to "have picked it up today"...very humble Tony Starcer came to Dover AFB to repaint Shoo Shoo Baby during her resto...he did a few jackets too...mostly Coopers...but he did do one original A-2.... RIP Tony There's no way for sure to know that was a Starcer unless the original owner confirmed that. He did do jackets but nearly as many as people think. I asked around at a 91st BG reunion several years ago and was given the names of several ground crew (and a few aircrew) who painted jackets at Bassingborn.

Schnicklfritz Posted May 13, 2016 Share #36 Posted May 13, 2016 Wow, great jacket. As part of my practical test for my Airframe and Powerplant license, I was able to go through the restored B17 "The Nine O Nine" and the B24 "The All American" when they were undergoing their annual inspections at New Smyrna many moons ago. That was a great experience to be able to see things about those aircraft that no one else was able to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my favorite shot I got of the Collings' "909" B-17, from the waist gun position on their B-24: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
