Finally!!

[Rocky]

I've been eying this jacket for the last two years and finally got the gentleman who owned it to part with it.
One of the neatest painted A2's that I have seen. Also has all of the crew members painted on it which I have never seen before.

Great jacket. Is it an Aero 15142 or 18775?

Rocky,

I think you might have copied and pasted the page location instead of the image location. With cursor on the image, I right click and select "copy image location."

Very 'Hardcore' jacket and artwork!

Wow, what a jacket. That was worth waiting for. Looks like a fairly small size? I see one of Keith Ferris's pics in the background-love his work.

 

[Rocky]

The jackets maker is Aero.
I have some info on the plane and crew. The owner did his twenty five missions and signed up again for another tour. I've talked to the Grandson about obtaining some of his Grandfathers other possessions but he didn't want to part with anymore. Don' really know why he would of ever sold this jacket.

Was He with the 390th Bombardment Group ? I ask this as the art on the jacket "somewhat" resembles the 571st Bombardment Squadron's "Wolf " emblem ?
