M-422A v AN6552
I'm pretty sure they brought the jackets with them. That's why there was a mix of M-422s and A-2s. Because the pilots came from the USN/ USMC, AAF. If you do a quick google search on "Original Flying Tigers Photos" it seems like the majority of the AVG patches appear on the right side in the...- Skyhawk

M-422A v AN6552
From what I have seen, the AVG patch was usually on the right side (wearer prospective). Usually not always, as can be seen in photos. I believe this was in part due to the volunteers showing up with squadron patches already sewn on the left side under the name tag. Naturally the AVG patch would...- Skyhawk

The specs in the 1940's seem rather murky with patches being placed seemly at random at times. I think it's safe to say that the vast majority of name tag placements are...- Skyhawk

As well as distortion of visual landing systems on runways. The cockpit is not the place for polarized lenses. Especially now with visual displays and glass cockpits. There was a AC (Advisory Circular) put out by the FAA on this years ago. That 50's HB is a beauty HH!- Skyhawk

What's The Story on Wilsons Leather?
It's all about the details with the high end jackets. The reproduction zippers, replica labels, exact fit, and leather that looks authentically antique. Wilson's is in a different category of jackets. They make a wide range of modern styles, but don't really spend the expense on reproduction...- Skyhawk

What Jacket Are You Wearing Today?
Today it's my Headwind Mfg Co Admiral's jacket (low pocket version). This jacket is made out of Tan Waxed Sheep Nubuck which provides a residue free water / stain resistant surface and a look that is very close to the famous Admiral Ballentine's jacket.- Skyhawk
