Painting "Nose Art" on back of A-2

[Horace Debussy Jones]

I recall seeing a cloth jacket or two also. I think with a mouton collar, (type B 10?) but I'm not certain. Also what appears to be many B3 type jackets in some of the photos of the pilots.
I think I'll use what might be the second logo design. It's a fiercer looking tiger flying downward inside a shield background I believe. I'll use the Chinese Nationalist 12 pointed star for my background I think. Maybe not totally realistic, but plausible I think as if it were an individual pilot's own jacket.

This was a jacket I regularly wore back in the 1980s. When I bought it the painting was mostly gone, the girl had no head or traces of it and most of her costume had worn off. I had the jacket repainted over(Shock horror I guess) though the shoulder and breast patches were fine. Think it was a 447th Group Rattlesden jacket though I have not found any pics of the plane, there must have been a 'Heavenly Body' in every squadron in every theatre I would think.

I can confirm that the AVG servicemen did wear B-10 and B-3. My grandfather worked for the CNAC during the War and I see photos of him wearing B-10 and B-3. Those were also supplied to the CNAC although my grandfather had a CNAC badge over the Air Force decal on the arm.
