Flight Jacket Books

[Brettafett]

Darn... I need to read this book. Another thing to buy...

 

[London Cabbie]

It came signed, first edition number 824 of 1000.

 

[mulceber]

Ooh, did you order that direct from their website, or get it on eBay?

 

[London Cabbie]

Seemed expensive everywhere else so I bought direct from them. I have to say the packaging it came in was amazing. Eastman really are, all about the detail...

 

[mulceber]

Now I'm wondering if it'll still be available come the Christmas season...

Sorry, just saying it as it is.

You guys have probably been asked many times what are the best books on flight jackets especially A2.
Please give me your best views on the top books and how to purchase. Many thanks

Welcome to the forum. Mr. Eastman's book is the right choice.

Now only 15!

Not sure if the folks at Eastman are sending them out strictly in order, but I’m not taking chances. I explained the situation to my wife and she very kindly bought it early. Easy to tuck it away for Christmas.

Ohh no, they aren’t in order, I bought mine in US, just random numbers.

 

[mulceber]

Ah, not a problem then. I was going to get it for Christmas anyway.

You will enjoy it!

 

[ausreenactor]

I don't have it yet!

 

[mulceber]

Well, apparently there’s more than 15 left, so you’ve got time.

 

[ausreenactor]

Someone will always have one on eBay!

Are they still signed by Gary? I got my copy at the book launch event at American Classics in Covent Garden back in December 2012 I think. Mine is number 138.

I’m surprised they still seem to be going through the first edition of 1000 copies in 2019; a great book but hardly a best seller! Makes me feel we’re sadly unlikely to see similar books on other jacket types.

Nearly $1500 Australian. That's an Eastman jacket from HPA!
