Photoshop is great

[Peter Graham]

I spotted these two photos on facebook today and had to post them. If anyone has anything similar please share.

I don't have any good "action" shots, and sadly I can't remember where I got these, but here you go -

and completely unrelated, but still funny -

If you like a bit of historical whimsy, you should really check out a book called BOILERPLATE -

http://www.amazon.com/Boilerplate-Historys-Mechanical-Paul-Guinan/dp/0810989506

I've linked the Amazon page, but be sure and at least check out the Google images. Plenty of pictures of the robot called Boilerplate photoshopped into famous scenes throughout history.

EDIT - I see the pictures have a link, and I just checked it out again. Go There Now...

This is actually a great A-2 photo. Do you have the original?

It's a still from the movie Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo. They're not real A-2s, by the way -- they have back seams.

I took this picture from the TV screen. It’s not the best shot.
But I didn’t notice any back seams on their jackets.

Perhaps you are referring to another type of back seam.
And If they are not real A-2s as you say,
they sure look nice nevertheless.

I see them clear as a bell arm to arm horizontally.

Sure looks like seams across the backs to me.

The Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo jackets have been discussed on the forum a few times before and the yoke seams noted. See John Chapman's comments in this post for instance.

Noted double snaps (or buttons?) at the waistband leather pieces near the zipper, as well, in the still from the film.

Kind of a hybrid A1/A2 jacket
