Thanks for that Keegan!
Funny I only saw an add for repros of those in a Vintage Aero magazine yesterday.

Typical US-Flyboys.

That's a nice jacket.

Very artistic Keegan. Are you going to get yourself one of those.
Now if only I could pick up a decently priced WWI Officers Jacket we could do a fashion show.

Very nice jacket! So the other jackets showed at the link you shared.

I remember this link when I looked for a Flying Tigers blood chit some years ago: http://www.uswings.com/ftigers.asp The prices are not exactly cheap especially by adding the costs of shipping...

Yeh, this got posted on the Cy6 list too; a very good article. I wonder if I can buy a new repro (there's a compnay in Hudson, Ohio that makes these, I think), and have my wife do some artwork on it. Be nice as convention wear. (unless I can find a WW1 German aviator's uniform ).
