    If we are lucky it will be cool enough to start with an A-2 by the end of September. A bit longer until the Irvins come out.

    Show us your Thrift and/or yard sale finds

    Shangas, good shine on the bell. A can of Brasso and some elbow grease does wonders!

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    Lizzie, I have empathy for you. A few years ago tree roots had blocked our pipe leading under the sidewalk to the sewer. The sewer line from our 120 year old Queen Anne was original. It cost $1000 to repipe the 10 foot run to the street. During the few days it took for the plumber to get the...

    Lt Col James Goodson

    Some years ago I ordered a " Maj. James Goodson A-2" which turned out to have been made in Pakistan. Not as authentic as I would have liked(a 2 piece back?!) but it makes a good knock-around jacket.

    New Langlitz Flight Jacket (Bomber Style) with Pics

    The Langlitz looks like a good riding jacket for a cruise on the Harley.

    J.A. Dubow ac20960

    It is a remarkably preserved jacket for its age. Even if the zipper is not original it fits in naturally and to the average observer looks like it belongs there. A fortuitous find, indeed, Andrew!:eusa_clap

    Civil Air Patrol

    As a senior CAP member in the 1980's I had the pleasure of working with cadets. As deputy commander of cadets I got to know some fine young people and see potential future leaders in the making. I also took on the job of aerospace education officer( I had been a student naval aviator in the...

    Enjoy the jacket. One good thing about leather is that it is easy to wipe off baby barf.:confused:

    At Long Last: The Eastman D1 Mechanics Jacket Arrives

    It is a rather fine example of a D-1. Don't abuse it to the point where it ends up looking like Sgt. Carter's D-1 from the old [I]Hogan's Hero's[I] tv show.

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    Bugguy, My i20 year old house also has asbestos wrapped around the furnace vents. As long as it is not falling off, it is best to leave it alone. It could be wrapped over with non-asbestos material if it makes you feel any better. Trying to remove it could end up being like opening Pandora's...

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    There is not a lot of house flipping in this rural part of the state. When we are ready to sell, given the state of the economy, we'll be happy to recoup what we paid plus what major expenses we put into our "painted lady" over the past 18 years. Our "retirement" house will be much newer and...

    WWII Navy Pilot Reenactor

    Some 30 years ago we had a renactment of the Japanese Pearl Harbor attack at the former Millville,NJ AAF (P-47)training base. I was aero-space education officer for our CAP squadron at the time. All the 'Jap" pilots were Americans(like the photo Stearmen posted). Some of the cadets and senior...

    Buy New, Vintage or Victorian Home?

    This "polar vortex" which has come around again can really present a challenge for keeping water pipes from freezing in vintage homes. Our 120 year old Victorian has solid brick walls, 3 courses deep. The rear wall has pipes going up to the 2nd floor bathroom. The pipes are plastered into the...

    Still any flight jacket collectors out there?

    I, too have stopped "collecting" flight jackets, as I have been advancing into my 60's. I never had many at one time, but at this stage in life don't even have the opportunity to regularly wear the 4 flight jackets(one of which is nylon) I still have.
