It is my first A-2 and the only one left in my collection. Right now it has an ugly YKK zipper which I would like to change. This one is fully researched with all the details of the missions the pilot flew. THe damage to the neck area on the lining is also fully accounted for. I got the story from the nephew. THere was a fire in the cockpit when they were hit by flack and his jacket got slightly damaged by fire. Lower also got burns on his hands. I actually found details of that particular incident when I found all the mission details on the squadron website.
