    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    Doolittle was 45 when the U.S. entered WW-II. Born - 1896; Died - 1993. The photos are likely late 1920s. http://www.af.mil/AboutUs/Biographies/Display/tabid/225/Article/107225/general-james-harold-doolittle.aspx

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    They're addictive - I bought one and ordered the second Bushman as soon as the first came in. I am glad they only come in two colors!

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I have two of them and like them very much. They seem to have a bigger crown that a CD and the brim is wider - to me they are more of a western/outdoors type of hat than the fedora-qualities of a Campdraft. As someone said in the Bushman thread "it's a lot of hat."

    Famous People in Flight Jackets

    We’ve seen lots of WW-II pictures of GEN Jimmy Doolittle in his A-2. How about a few earlier pics of GEN Doolittle in his A-1 flying jacket? Here he is with some other pilot. This one does not look like leather when compared to other photos.

    WW-II 8th AF Tribute Jacket - Looking for some guidance

    I have decided to put together a WW-II “tribute jacket” and was hoping for some advice/opinions. The jacket is a tribute to my mother’s first cousin, 2LT Millard C.

    Seemingly insignificant things that connect you to the past

    Having moved many times there are still unpacked boxes that contain quite a few insignificant items (old tools, etc.) that connect me to my past, but as I was reading through the posts, this is what came to mind. When I was little, my Mother had this bowl and always served me chili (and ice...

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

    I came across something in a different thread, but thought it would be more appropriate to mention here in the A-1 thread. Today I was viewing some A-2 photos from a link on a different jacket thread (http://www.goodwearleather.com/photos/vintage_photos) and one of the jackets in a crew photo...

    Flight jackets right length

    Those are some great photos. One of the jackets in a crew photo caught my eye - I put on my glasses and enlarged as big as could get it and I am still not sure, but it sure looks like the second guy from the right is wearing a jacket with buttons?? I would have guessed an A-1, but that looks...

    MODERN FUR FELT HOMBERG – 7-1/4 TO 7-3/8

    I wear in between a 7-3/8 and a 7-1/2 and it fits me. I think it was mis-marked by SA as a 7-1/4.
