    A-1 Jacket / A1 Flying Jacket - The ultimate Golden Era flying accessory!

    For Red Baron Red Baron, John Chapman is a personal friend of mine and your comments are without tact, almost boarding on infantile. :mad: Please keep your comments to the item being discussed and you might gain a "little" more respect.

    What is your favorite aircraft of all time?

    The P-61 Black Widow. FYI: The F6F Hellcat made more aces for the U.S. in WWII. Not the P-51, P-47 or P-38.

    Blue Nosed Basrds of Bodney A-2

    Steve, you should have been here in April as we hosted a symposium of 352nd pilots. Punchy Powell was the moderator of the symposium and we also had aces Don Bryan, Sandy Moats and Alden Rigby here along with one other P-51 pilot. After the event, the local association brought 5 blue Ford...

    Blue Nosed Basrds of Bodney A-2

    He actually said "I knew the war was over when I saw the P-51 Mustang over Berlin". The 352nd FG wasn't mentioned directly.

    Almost Time to Get Your Knees Brown!

    Dr. Watson I presume? Maybe you should put his image at the headwaters of the Nile River or by Victoria Falls. ;)

    65th Anniversary of Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo

    IMO, when something is "pre-planned" as an attack on one individual and not just an attack on a base, island, etc., then it is what it is. The U.S. Military even called it an assassination in their reports, so that's what I'm going with. The military also kept this mission "hush hush" even...

    65th Anniversary of Jimmy Doolittle's raid on Tokyo

    Nope, 16 P-38s took off and flew 600 miles to Bouganville and intercepted Admiral Yamamoto's flight and shot him down. The Navy had broken the Japanese code, and because they knew Yamamoto was a stickler for being on time, they knew exactly when and where he was going to be. It was an...

    Ever heard of the Major Jim Goodson Limited Edition A-2 ?

    This was the 3rd year for "Hops and Props" and it is a growing sucess. As for the rest of the flight jackets being on display, I'll see what I can do to facilitate that.

    Ever heard of the Major Jim Goodson Limited Edition A-2 ?

    :eusa_doh: Sorry to tell you this, but the Museum of Flight "does not" belong to Boeing, nor is it part of Boeing. How do I know this? Because I work there. Sorry to sound so sour about your statement, but it's a big bone of contention with the employees that work there when some...

    What is the name of the museum and where is it located?

    History Channels dog fights, B-17

    Nice grouping and cool diplay, but I found out a long time ago that you "never" refer to anyone that has a MOH as a winner. You always refer to them as a recipient. I know because I did it in front of a MOH recipient years ago and recieved quite the tongue lashing. They say that it's not a...

    B-17 and the B-24

    I've been on a flight in the "Nine o Nine" twice. Once as a passenger and once to fly it from the co-pilot's seat. Needless to say it was a dream to fly and I was excited beyond anything I can say in this post. ;)

    WWII Espionage

    My wife's former boss passed away a few years ago and we happened to catch his obituary in our local paper. Unknown to my wife is that he was a member of the OSS and was Dutch. He parachuted into occupied Europe several times. He was eventually captured by the Germans and put in Dachau...

    A2 jacket Journey

    This jacket's label and all 27798 Dubows from Lost Worlds are incorrect. One, because the first "1" in the 30-1415 is missing. The reason for this is because Dubow used just one thread for the number "1" and it comes off very easily. The owner of Lost Worlds just copied an original label that...

    Women in WWII waiting on their Soldiers

    In these times the American military spouses have been complaining that their husbands/wives are away in a combat zone, but they forget how long spouses during WWII were seperated from their loved ones. My mom for one raised three infants from late 42 to mid 45 on her own while my dad was...
