My flight jacket collection

I was asked a while back by some members to post a few pics of my flight jacket collection. Here are just a few.

A US Navy G-1 was my first and only leather jacket for many years.

I would like to see pics of the other jackets in South's collection.

You are correct DD! I am computer savvy in many areas but apparently not in the posting of pics part. My laptop at home kept giving me error codes, so I ended up with aggrivation and only 1 sideways pic. Oh well, I will get the rest soon. I'm on a mission now.
The one you see is not my my most prized one but it's close. This one is an American Sportswear AN6552 in a generous size 44. The only things missing are the oririnal cuffs and the spec tag. The cuffs are ok but whoever did them used a more olive drab color and they managed to sew them to what was left of the originals. Good job with no extra stitch holes but my goal is to have them replaced with period brown cuffs soon. I do have six in my collection including the American Sportswear. The others are a Willis and Geiger AN6552, Cagleco G-1, Ralph Edwards G-1, Irvin B. Foster G-1 and my most prized, an H&L Block AN6552. It was my first one that I purchased off ebay about 14 years ago. It is finally on its way to Flightjackets.com for replacement cuffs, waistband, zipper and mouton collar. Hopefully I can get my laptop to work correctly and get those pics posted! Thanks for the interest men!
