2 Old guys Up for Auction

[tda003]

There are 2 WWII Dubows up for auction. The first belonged to a crewman, B.J. Jenson, in a bomber named "Skippy". The crewman parachuted safely and this is noted on the back as a white parachute amid the yellow bombs. I hadn't seen that before. It's in a size that I haven't fit into since high school. The second has the Sgt.'s name in pretty well executed calligraphy. It's the size that I wore in my Marine Corps recruiting film days. I can't seem to post these in their proper order. The top, 3rd and 5th images are for the "Skippy" Dubow A-2 belonging to Cpl. Jenson. The 2nd, 4th, 6th & 7th are for the Dubow 27798 A-2 belonging to Sgt. Larry Hall.

Seems like the Jensen jacket has been shown at other auctions or collections. Maybe in one of the FJ picture books.

I'll check---now that I have "The Book"!

These are awesome. Right up Jorge's alley.

Might have been "Silver Wings Pinks and Greens."

Checked what I have. Not in "Full Gear" or "Art of the Flight Jacket".
