A little more info on the shoot from Eastman's Instagram feed.

Mike Handford from Aviator caps said at least one of his caps is in this shoot, as is one actor who had just wrapped on, "Masters of the Air".

Don't understand why everything looks like it was rubbed in dirty motor oil. They actually had something going but inauthentic ageing ruined it IMO. Also all the laughing and gladhanding and general grabassery seems a bit weird. Swing and a miss!

At an airshow, we were behind a B17 as the engines started up. One of the flight crew commented that we would get oily. We replied that we knew, we were just getting baptized.

Also, I took a friend to see Memphis Belle, when it came out, he was a 91BG tail gunner. He started laughing, and exclaimed, "They're too clean!"

Thanks for posting all these photos.
Flight kit and photography look awesome.

It's a shame they only had one, unlit cigarette among them all.

Maybe for ground crew. Most WW2 photos I look at don't seem to show the same amount of grime. This is just the BFA talking here but they made the "Fury" mistake- everything looks way too dirty, oily and old. Overaged. Odd.

These guys did a much better job IMO. http://www.303rdbg.com/uniforms-gear.html

He just looks so butch! Hate to be there when the hissy fit happens!

That matted down fur just looks wrong.

I'll dig him up and tell him he was wrong.
