I was watching Pawn Stars the other night, and a guy sold his dad's A-2 for $800. It was a Cargo Pilots jacket and had the "camel" insignias for his missions flying "over the hump." Does anyone have an original or repro jacket made up like this? I'd love to see pictures.
My great uncle flew that route during the war and I think they are particularly cool. He told a story about transporting some villagers and having them build a fire in the plane to keep warm! Here is a similar jacket:
