    Thanks, Mike for the archaic 1936 article. What a different world now. I do appreciate the progress in bicycle and clothing technology.

    Can Anyone Recommend "Pearl Harbor"?

    It's been mentioned elsewhere, but for the best historical depiction of Pearl Harbor watch "Tora!Tora!Tora!"

    G-1's for uniform wear

    As I recall, we were told that the naugahyde was manufactured in Connecticut. It was lighter than leather(and apparently cheaper). The jackets did not have the fragrance of leather tanned hides. I have no reason to believe the Navy was trying to deceive us unless they thought that if we...

    G-1's for uniform wear

    Welcome, SFdistance. The G-1s issued at NAS Pensacola in 1974 were actually made of naugahyde. We were not awfully enamored of them. They did provide warmth in the winter months, however. BTW, much luck with your aviation career. Semper Fi.

    The cordovan looks sharp. Is the fur collar detachable?

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    That Natter is a fierce looking beast. Not intended to be graceful. It probably didn't win any beauty contests.

    WWII Female Pilots Take Flight Again At Reunion

    NPR did a fine piece on the event. More people now are aware of the lack of appreciation the brave ladies were shown over the years. It is a shame that many of them did not live long enough to see this over-due award.

    Cockpit A-2 Goat

    I once tried on a 1987 version USAF A-2 in a size 40(my suit size) and it was way too tight. Apparently the newer version is looser. It would be nice to be near a store such as you are, then one could be certain of an acceptable fit.

    Painted Flight Jackets - Planes, Names, and Dames

    Your artwork is commendable. Since the jacket is not really a WW2 era A-2 your painting can only improve its appearance. Once you obtain a more accurate A-2 you should be in good practice to paint exactly what you want. Keep up the good work!

    Rara Avis - What rare WWII aircraft would you like to see flying?
