    old crow p-51

    Yes, OMAR, Go for it. These opportunities to interact with WW2 vets are becoming fewer as the years pass.

    G1 or A2

    CBI stated it quite practically. Get one of each. If you can't make up your mind then simply switch jackets once in awhile.

    How many leather jackets do you own!?

    I yearn for a true A2 someday but have survived with two cheap imitation A-2 copies, from India. My Schott MC from 1970 is beat up and a bit snug these days. Also a cranberry colored Wilson's House of leather fitted waist length jacket size 40. A knee length belted gestapo type black leather...

    The fall of the phone

    Since there seems to be no end to inventions, someday the cell phone, also will be an "antique" that some of the younger folks on this link will fondly remember.

    Why are original G-1 jackets so cheap compared to A-2s?

    Would somebody be able to find out just how many G-1's(or variants) have been produced as compared to A-2's?

    Exchange Rate?

    Vintage Things That Have Disappeared In Your Lifetime?

    Dhermann mentioned the Connie. About 30 years ago my wife and I flew our club Cessna 150 to a small airport in rural northern NJ to tour a Constellation that had been flown in and became a static display. It could never be flown out again since the runway was too short. We haven't been there...

    a-2 gibson barnes

    With such a variety out there it comes down to personal choice. If you have a specific jacket in mind and really like it, then go for it. Everyone has his/her own opinion based on their own experience with makers/sellers. If you are satisified that your research is thorough enough and the...

    G-1 question..

    Fascinating photos. I never saw a G-1 with epaulets. The fur collars are indeed sewn on. At least they were in the early 70's. Thanks for the pics.

    The Green Machine

    I had a forest green Tyrolean hat(with feathers naturally) a few years ago. Sadly it was exposed to too much "wetness" and shrunk, so I gave it to a friend who wears a smaller size.

    Ruining vintage stuff :(

    When I lent some old uniforms to a local high school for a play some years ago I was assured by the director that they would take good care of them. After the play one shirt had a big red stain(makeup?) that would not come out. I stopped lending to the school after that experience.

    You know that summer really IS over when...

    My cousin in Wisconsin usually has his snow blower ready by now with the shovel on the back porch. October has brought some unpleasant snow storms in the mid-west. Our earliest snowfall in recent years was Oct 29.

    Jay Leno does warbirds

    Jay Leno is to be thanked for recording his warbird visits. Good videos. Especially enjoyed the interview with the B-24 pilot.
