    Obama's A2 ?

    Since velcro patches are easily removable, the jacket probably went back to the supply depot after Obama finished the "mission." BTW- Bush looked fine in any flight jacket, which he earned the right to wear, having won his Air Force pilot's wings.

    Time Traveler spotted at the 1928 Chaplin film "The Circus"

    A fascinating discussion. If someone who had worked on the film was still alive, all those questions would be answered. Too bad it was not discovered 20 years ago. Even Maxwell Smart didn't have a shoe phone as sophiscated as in this film.
