Does 44 mean 46? Tempting if that were the case...

I love the play on words. The one that caught my attention was "Mister Completely". Missed Her Completely - Love it. Another one that comes to mind is Hoofhearted? Stephen

At least you guys are allowed to do some form of nose art on the planes and wear leather jackets. I wish the RCAF would be allowed to do get back into the glory days of post war squadron colours. Stephen

Found this link on Hyperscale - I wasn't aware the USAAF documented art work on jackets. http://www.flickr.com/photos/18532986@N07/sets/72157626140462192/with/5475231051/ Stephen

Is the Perry B-3 really worth, in my case, $1500 CDN? I am a little concerned over this talk about the price increase and quality issues with some of ELC's products as I am close to getting off the proverbial pot and ordering one. I think it would come in handy since I live in the North. The B-6...

Can't wait to see the pictures cause I am probably going to take the plunge soon.

Pardon my ignorance Andrew, but what does VLJ stand for? I am interested in this jacket so wouldn't mind seeing as many images as possible. Thanks, Stephen

Is it still for sale?

Dave, How'd that Monty Python skit go? I'm a Lumber Jack and I am okay...

Hi Dave, Fair enough, but I don't fly airplanes on a regular basis, parachute harness included, that would, as far as I am concerned, double the wear and tear on leather jackets such as the Type A-2 experienced during the war. I have mainly worn mine during the spring and fall months and after...
