Hey guys, been a while, other hobbies have taken precedence lately. My Aero LHB arrived back on June 29th and I've finally gotten around to taking a few pics. It was a long wait, I ordered it at the beginning of January. The pics are a little off, sorry for that, they were too dark to begin with...
I watched this movie yesterday evening. I'd never heard of it until I ran across it on NetFlix. It came out in 1943 and had lots of vintage aircraft footage of early WWII US airplanes. When is the last time you saw a "shark tail" B-17 or a P-39? They are abundant in this picture. Also, the...
My wife has been wanting a leather jacket recently, but doesn't really want the A-2, G-1 or other military inspired look. She prefers something a little more "Ladies' Fashionish". I'm not really fond of mall jackets, I just don't expect them to hold up well, especially the thin lambskin used on...

by Bert Stiles. I've only recently heard of this book and felt compelled to read it, so after a brief search I found a copy. I received it Monday and finished it last night. Its a glimpse into the mind of a young B-17 bomber co-pilot in WWII trying to justify to himself that dropping thousands...
The thread concerning the Road to Perdition overcoat got me wondering what to look for when searching for a vintage overcoat. I've been thinking of getting an overcoat on and off for years and going vintage should net me a better quality coat at a hopefully cheaper price than a new one. When...
Hey guys/gals,
This is my first post, been lurking for a month or so and finally decided to register. I originally stumbled across the FL while searching for info on A-2 Flight Jackets and have really enjoyed reading the posts in the various sections of the lounge. I'm a big fan of Fedoras...
