Thud Ridge is a great book about F-105 operations during the Vietnam War and Chicken Hawk is a great first person account by a UH-1 pilot.

I did find out that "WPL numbers were issued from 1941 through 1959 under the Wool Products Labeling Act. WPL numbers begin at 00101 and end at 13669. All numbers issued subsequently are RN numbers." from https://www.ebay.com/gds/Clothing-Labels-RN-and-WPL-and-CA-/10000000003229985/g.html If...

I just purchased this G-1. The "Made in the USA" tag makes me think that this is a fairly recently made jacket but the stitching on the tag seems original (The manufacturer seemed to not know the difference between an A-2 and a G-1). Gorgeous jacket though.

Hello, I posted the Expedition a few weeks back and the Skyliner went up yesterday. Both jackets are in excellent condition. Starting bid on the Expedition is $180 and the Skyliner starts at $150. No reserve. Details are in the adds but both jackets look barely worn. I wear a 46 and can...

I just listed it on eBay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Used-Gibson-and-Barnes-Expedition-leather-jacket-size-46-Short-Indiana-Jones-/161722396171?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item25a767ee0b

Hello, I have a dark brown Gibson and Barnes Expedition jacket in size 46 short that I would like to sell. I purchased it used so I don't know if it is goat or lamb. It is very soft so it might very well be lambskin. It is in very good condition with little wear and smells new. I thought...

It is a very roomy 46. Feels about 4 sizes larger than my 46 Martin Lane G-1. Very long sleeves so it would make a good bike jacket. Starting price $285.00 Thanks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161687056526?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Here is a link to some photos I posted at that other site if anyone is interested in the continuing saga. It is easier than linking the photos again. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6827523#post6827523

My Eterna Kontiki 20

I am not saying you are wrong about the jacket being a Chinese fake but I spent 15 years in or working with the U.S. military between the Air Force, Army, and working as a contractor and I am unaware of 99.9999% of the equipment that the U.S. government tried but did not adopt. If you...

Thanks for the info Luftwaffe-Jacket-Wanted. A couple of guys at Wehrmacht-Awards.com think it is a trials item that wasn't adopted. http://i.imgur.com/fnetG8B.jpg

Gorgeous. I had a Schott 141 for a few years so I love that style.

Yeah, for a sub $50 leather jacket I am not too worried.

Thanks for the information fellows. I do appreciate it.

Thanks. I still haven't found one photo of a member of the German military wearing one.
