Burt! Look away! Don't look directly at the shitty hanger!!

The 491st was a unit of General Chenault's Flying Tigers.

Sorry, just a pet peeve. Nobody call Tex Hill.

Gentle ribbing aside, it is pretty egregious. I like to think nobody here would store an 80-year old leather jacket on a coat hanger.

Oh yeah, that was my point -- I know Burt hates it... and in a museum, no less!

Maybe the jacket came from the original owner on that hanger? It looks old enough.

Nice post, thanks for sharing, and to see a Cooper A2, dont see that too often.

Agree. First time seeing it in person.

@Wz1999 Thanks for sharing! The sharp bell shape of that cable's zipper head is one of the nicest I've ever seen!

I had similar thoughts. It does not like like an M-42…

You can just about see the zipper on that Coop popping out , certainly you don’t see them getting posted up on the site

Amazing detailed photos - thanks for sharing! So cool to see the original M-41 Conmar No. 5 zip on the Cooper is still present.
