Anyone watch the new episode of Pawn Stars where the guy brought in the USMC M-422A? I have officially declared Rick and the old man idiots. The picture that came with the jacket had a Corsair in it with a caption saying it was 1943 in Munda. Rick's going on about the P-47 group in the ETO called the Hellhawks and the old man is saying that maybe one of the guys in that group traded for the M-422A.
Watch the episode if you can and it will drive you nuts.
And they keep using the term "bomber jacket". I know it's entertainment, but it's also mis-informing the public into incorrect identification and pricing.
Rick paid $2k for the jacket, but that's top dollar IMO. The seller wanted $10k for it. ROFL!
