This is listed on eBay, nose art...very good nose art cut from the back of an A-2. Dunno why they did this. The only reason I can think of is that some REMF pogue quartermaster's assistant making flight crew members turn in their A2s upon separation from the service.
"That jacket belongs to Uncle Sam !"
"How much will it cost ? I'll pay for it."
"It ain't for sale, now turn it in...or you can't be separated."
The QAss takes the jacket and DRMOs it...removing any patches and cutting off the nose art, then dumping the jacket into a bin.
These painted scraps of art are kept and later sold off.
Those of you who've been in the service know this 'could' have happened...
