    Getting my US Authentic A-2-ADVICE ON DETAILS

    Ace - what do YOU feel like? We are not going to wear your jacket - you are. if you feel like having a USAF decal on the shoulder - do it! Many WWII jackets had it - just as many had not. In my opinion you can go to extreems to make a jacket "look right" and it ends up looking like a...

    I know it's a type B - the classic, the icon - but 2.700 £ for a massproduced leatherhelmet!!! Was it some fellowlounger, who went over the top at e-bay? By the way - anybody out there got a spare one for sale. I could use one - but not for 2.700£ :D

    Talk about family likeness

    I often wonder who I look like in my family. Not really my mother or my father - but I found this picture of my grandfather on my mothers site. The likeness is stunning, I think. When he was 40 years old. Me - at the same age. I even have a picture of him when he was 65 - just...

    Favorite RAF Movies

    ...let's just say, I am not a great fan of Douglas Bader myself. Maybe that's why. But that's a whole other story, and has nothing to do with the subject of this thread. The movie is OK - and Kenneth More plays it rather well - like only Kenneth More can. In fact he gives a much more human...

    Favorite RAF Movies

    Besides the above mentioned (my favourits being: Battle of Britain, Piece of Cake and Dark Blue World - in that order) there is a very good TV documentary from UK (BBC?) called: Their Finest Hour. Should be on DVD. :offtopic: Like your avatar - for a moment I thought I'd started a thread...

    Odd question: daily clothes..

    Just a thought: You might considder a straw Borsalino when the weather turns hot - it's not as formal as a fedora - and might work better with more casual clothing. Open shirt over T shirt, chinos etc.

    Max Manus

    There is a new Norwegian movie out: Max Manus - it tells the true story of one of Norways most courageous resistancemembers during the occupation in WWII. I saw it yesterday and can only recommend it. It's great filmwork and a very moving story. See the trailer here...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Went to the movies yesterday to see "Max Manus" - a Norwegian film about the resistance and WWII in Norway. A truely great - and very moving movie. Can only be recommended. See the trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbK4WTQFf9U

    The story of a pilot

    Absolutely a great shot. It must be from the same photosession as the one in my first post in this thread. I also like the varity in the uniforms, boots and irvins. Gives a good image of the different - and very personal - styles. Observe that Lewis has his topbutton undone!

    A-2 and G-1 Jackets for $99 (Marked down from $249-$289)

    Only happy to help.:) Allthough I am not really a A2 man myself - more into Irvins (RAF). But the A2 is a nice alternative when spring comes along.

    The story of a pilot

    Found this one with Lewis standing as number 3 from left - with fellow pilots from 249 Squadron. Could be September 1940.

    A-2 and G-1 Jackets for $99 (Marked down from $249-$289)

    @ Ace: Dear friend. let me give you some solid advice. I was once where you are now - I wanted a A2 jacket so badly, but I did not know where to look - and I did not have the money. I did what most people do, bought the first one I could afford - and got the bug! I began to read about the...
