I like to see A-2 jackets in their natural habitat. And look! Not 5% are snug!

Not just great pictures of flight jackets but some of the people who are posting about 'Golden Era' hairstyles should check out these photos too. Slick indeed...

Yes, exactly my thoughts.

Most seem to be good fits. Only a couple with stretch marks.


I also noticed the variations in their service caps. They have subtle variations as a result of coming from different makers.

Thanks Everyone

I really like the way they all had their own way of wearing their jackets.

Great photos!! I love to see original shots of these flight crews wearing their A2s.

The art on that last plane looks unfinished - interesting!

Great jackets and a great reference. Snapped and unsnapped collars, zipped and unzipped, loose, snug, squared up and drooped shoulders. Just like we see many of the reproductions today being worn/produced.
The one modern feature one does not see among these jackets is a beer gut and extra chins.

I don't know, that LT on the right in the last shot in the second group looks like he was working on one!lol

I also noticed that one of the images got flipped by the book publisher. You can easily tell by the squadron patches being on the wrong side.

Cheers!
