Blue Angels (click for large images). Can anyone suggest the likely brand of these jackets? They've got side entry pockets. I bet they're not regular issue.

Blue Angels out on the town, two of whom I'd be happy to meet in a bar. I'm sure they never pay for drinks!

My guess would be that those are Gibson and Barnes. G+B is located in El Cajon and the Blues winter quarters is at NAF El Centro...about an hour's drive away. IIRC, most of the Blues specialty stuff, like blue flight suits and custom helmets, were always done by G+B.

So I wouldn't be surprised if you got your new G+B G-1 (without all your non-uniform fleet patches) when you got your blue everything else.

Rocky/Stallone wore this M-65 throughout Creed (not a flight jacket, but there is no thread for Famous People in Non-Flight Military Jackets):

But I think, Rocky looks good and smart. Very OK.

I think Sly is a fan of military style jackets.

General George S. Patton.
U.S. Seventh Army ~ World War ll.

George C. Scott. American actor.

I borrowed General Patton’s jacket to see how it would
look on Mr. Scott !

Thats a great photo! Pretty cool jacket as well . . . ain't many people that can legitimately wear that one.

Here are two separate screen shots of George C. Scott from the movie Patton. It looks like two different jackets.

^ Definitely a costume department creation.

USAAF glider pilots were issued field jackets for the Normandy landings, so no reason not to post it here!

Crikey, he was only 59 when that photo was taken! The next year he was dead at only 60.

Monty was only 56, younger than me! Do I look that old? Now I am glad James isn't posting, I know what his answer would be!
