9th AF crew photos

[Pilot]

Sorry I’m out with the family on a mother’s day lunch at the moment, but I got it off eBay some years ago.

I’ll post a pic when I get home later.

Cheers

Enjoy your beloved ones...

Thx for the link with the white one at Aero ...

Alternative would be a piece of a caño-parachute which was seen with paratroopers throughout Normandy campaign

Ok, it summer and no one's thinking of shearling jackets, but check out the cool jacket art on this cat's D-1. These 9th AF ground crew are members of the same bomb group that Flak Bait flew with.

Nice mackinaw jacket/jeep coat on the right as well. And of course the timeless A-4 caps.

Nice photos...thx.
Whats the left jacket?
Found one like this ( or sililar) a few weeks ago. Apparently it belonged to a Luftwaffe pilot who got it as a “privat purchase” from a downed US airman..., Luftwaffe pilots wore A-2, B-3 Irvin’s cyclist jackets etc...

Pilot,
The cat on the left is wearing a pocketless D-1.

Thought those A4's look more like watchcaps
