Type ANJ-4 :: Poughkeepsie Leather Coat Co. Contract 44-5125AP

Standardised on May 17th 1943 the ANJ-4 was the last model flight jacket to be made from sheepskin. As a replacement to the long-standing B-3 design, it did not enjoy such a long period of service; in less than a year it would itself be superseded by a new generation of pile-lined, fabric flight...

Mrs Trellis of North Wales?

The above will be lost on all except perhaps a tiny number who have listened via a steam radio to 'Sorry I haven't a clue' on the BBC.

Not the Poughkeepsie though, since that has a button closure at the base of the zipper, which this jacket conspicuously lacks.

I'm with you @Micawber . Indeed I did hear Samantha was nimble fingered in the jacket department and inclined to a spot of leather (... continuing in the same vein)

 

[John Lever]

I suppose I am an old hand at this but surprised no one has guessed it yet.

 

[Chandler]

The one, and only collaboration between ELC & Aero?


Yeah, just kiddin'.

Ok, now it’s super easy. Only one single minded individual could have pulled that off…

There is little doubt that it is none other than the Pakistani workforce crew straight outta Oregon.

For you can clearly see the same precise mandatory country of origin tag on all of their non promotional wares.

That wasn’t much of a challenge John. Tsk, Tsk.

 

[John Lever]

Come on its a give away now !

 

[leper-colony]

Its an original reverse lend-lease.

 

[mulceber]

Come on its a give away now !

Well it’s not a give away to me, which I suspect means I’m in for an education.

 

[Chandler]

Its an original reverse lend-lease.

Repair on a GW by the Aero shop?

Sorry -- I guess that wouldn't be reverse, would it?

Repair on an ELC by Lost Worlds?

 

[B-Man2]

Somehow I have a feeling that this would be a little easier if we were all familiar with UK based manufacturers from about 20 years ago . ……. Unless ….. wait …… a collaborative effort between …. Yes that’s it …. ELC and…………. Avirex !!!
