Did you watch it? I did, enjoyed it, what a great variation of A2 jackets, everything from russet to almost black
yes i really enjoyed the movie ! was surprised that the B2 caps were made in Russet redskin colours ...even seen young steve with his dog near the astrodome of a b17. My guess is that is a nice tribute to this generation. This movie must be defenitely seen.

Loved the spaniel sat on the b17 nose and the black terrier, definitely needs to be watched

I saw stuff I hadn't seen before, such variation, stripes drawn on jackets, shoes worn with flight suits, nice to see the fields of poppies and rape seed plants along with hawthorn hedges in those English bases, great documentary

Does anyone of you knows something about the USN-stenciled cloth jacket above? The photo (LIFE magazine) shows a pre-WW2 USMC pilot in the 1930s.
