Rather an accurate - if somewhat high end - assessment of what that jacket with provenance is worth, I would say, wouldn't you guys?

The jacket with the glider on the back is at the Silent Wings Museum in Lubbock, Texas. I was just up there about 2 months ago. Was lucky to get a ride up there in a C-47 owned by a member of The Vintage Flying Museum here in Fort Worth, Tx. My Dad was a glider crewchief so I have spent quite a lot of time in the SWM. They have some great exhibits and I think now 5 A-2's on display that were donated by families of glider pilots or crews.
