itsmagneto Posted November 4, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 4, 2021 I just acquired this ANJ-4. The jacket was part of a German Luftwaffe pilot grouping who served during and after ww2. I was amazed to see the little leftover of the contract label that reads "Leather Coat Co." so in my opinion it is a Poughkeepsie Leather Coat Co. AN-6553. The Zipper has been replaced with a German ZIPP zipper, and the shearling used for the repairs looks to me also like the typical german shearling used during ww2 but I can be wrong with that. All in all a very interesting piece to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phantomfixer Posted November 4, 2021 Share #2 Posted November 4, 2021 That is crazy cool...enough pics of german aircrew with A-2s and B-3s so no doubt a few German flyers took trophies...most likely the ANJ was worn by a bomber crewman(assumption on my part).. any info on your German grouping? name unit etc...nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
