    Our own vintage town

    Yes, cable cars require muscled "grip-men" for a fact. I observed this first-hand in San Francisco 30 years ago while my wife and I were travelling through California. I can still picture the operator handling the lever with a mighty effort. He smiled after making each connection. I had no...

    G1 or A2

    It is amusing that someone here would have to choose between a G-1 and an A-2 when most of us have several A-2s or several G-1s and would not try to choose a favorite among the different manufacturers. I wore my Navy issued G-1 for years because that's was part of our uniform. It served it's...

    My field mods to an A-1

    Fletch, from the outside it looks tailor made, so if anyone comments negatively about the alterations, let's see what kind of a job they would offer. Keep up the good efforts!

    A-2 Jacket patching question

    The presence of the fly snap at the bottom would indicate this is not an original A2, but a repro. Still, not a bad looking jacket from the front.

    Wonderfully clear photos. Thanks for sharing. Somebody will enjoy those patches until it is time to pass them on once more. Let's hope they don't stay hidden in some drawer.

    In the third pic where the colonel is close up in front of his P-38, his garrison cap sports the rank of bird-colonel.

    US Wings selling A-2s with 1940s vintage goatskin & "G-8" jackets from 1958

    All companies want to sell their merchandise. US Wings is no different in wanting their product chosen from the others that a potential customer may research. If their price and quality are competitive, what does it really matter about how old the goatskin might be as long as it is decent?

    3 piece back on A2 in period photo

    Dean, I bought my Mossi at a clearance price since there were only XL's left. Being a size 40, I hesitated on purchassing the "Major Goodson A2" but I read a review from someone who said the fit was way too small for XL. For $73 including shipping I took a chance. Initially I was...

    3 piece back on A2 in period photo

    Dean, Is your A2 repro a Mossi by any chance? If so, it is probably like the one I got for a reasonable price from a Bargain website.. Paul
