[Chandler]

Out of interest, dou you know what jacket he was wearing there?

I'm talking about Burt's picture of Mr. Peterburs, in which he's wearing an A-2.

Maybe P-47 is asking about something else?

Oh, I mean the later one.

 

[P-47 thunderbolt]

I just mean what repro was he wearing in that photo when Burt met him

 

[Shanghai-Mayne]

Sorry

I saw the label from a distance and I’m pretty sure it came from US Authentic or Flightjackets .com .
His original A2 that he returned home with was stolen from his car back in the 1990s and he purchased one , which was also stolen a few years ago ..so this one is relatively new for him .

 

[B-Man2]

I guess if there’s one thing about jackets that we could all learn from Joe’s misfortune, it’s either don’t take your jacket off or keep it with you at all times.

Special place in hell for an asshole that would steal a vet’s jacket. Death by unga bunga.

With some things there just ain’t any other way to deal with it

Here’s the patch that he had . It’s the 55th Fighter Group .

 

[Flightengineer]

I can’t believe he’s so old, well done man!
Burt, this is a great meeting, you're lucky

 

[Smithy]

Doesn't get any better than that Burt.

 

[mulceber]

I can’t believe he’s so old, well done man!

As near as I can tell, he just *stopped* aging in the 1990s.

 

[B-Man2]

If anyone is interested . You Tube has several interviews with him and once again he’s sharper in his 90s than I am in my 70s .
Here’s a couple if anyone is interested .

I sure did Tim … I was about to do another round when the damn hotel fire alarm went off and we all had to evacuate the hotel into the parking lot. No problem …grabbed them off the bar tender and continued the get together outside
