    Pics of my Avirex replica WWII bomber jacket

    It appears to be a sturdy jacket. Enjoy it and ignore the snobby comments that might come from those who eschew anything but "authentic" A2 copies.

    How about giving Schott some credit?

    My Schott Perfecto from 1970 has a replacement zipper, obvious wear on the sleeves and is a bit snugger( i've put on 20 lbs since then). I still get compliments when I wear it, which just confirms my opinion that it is a fine jacket.

    WWII bombs in Germany

    Danger UXB was a fabulous series. It always had you sitting on the edge of your seat during a de-fusing scene. Buried bombs still show up in American Civil War battlefields. I recall about 10 years ago a collector accidentally blew himself up with a 136 year old shell from Gettysburg.

    Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest

    DH, If history truly fascinates you, a visit to WW2 Weekend at the Reading Airshow the first weekend in June may be worth your while. The re-enactors are dedicated to representing what it was like, yet no one pretends to be anything else than the temporary actors that they play. Real WW2...

    Proper relaxed A2 fit

    My apology in advance for mentioning a G-1, however that is where my military experience took me. In the early 70's as a 23 year old Naval Aviation officer candidate I wore a size 37 uniform. I was issued a size 40 flight suit and a size 42 G-1. When I asked about the loose fit the petty...

    Fallschirmjager Regiment 6 - Pacific Northwest

    Your re-enactments are a source of education that are worthy to be supported. History must be remembered for the sake of human progress. Some young people retain more from live demonstrations than from books, although reading is still an essential part of learning. Thanks for the photos.

    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    I agree with Creeping Past. Your design is right on. You would have no problem mass marketing that style if you had the production capacity. Your talent is indeed blooming since your earlier efforts. I enjoy seeing you post your latest endeavors. Can't wait to see what's next!

    Anyone Read This Yet?

    Feraud, I'm with you. For some reason people nowadays feel that if they are not doing more than one thing at a time they are not being as efficient as possible. Quality and quantity don't always go hand in hand.

    Battle of the Bulge veteran...

    My friend, Bill, is with family at his father's funeral today. Bill senior was co-pilot on a B-17G at the end of the War. I never had the opportunity to talk to his father, but Bill junior has heard some of the accounts of his dad's 8th AAF days. Paul

    What Happens to Old Towns?

    Time never stands still. Change is inevitable. Too bad we can't use crystal balls to see what the future will be like, so we can make all the right adaptations without suffering losses such as those already discussed.
