Hey, thanks for all the links and info gang! That is some nifty stuff.
I just got the olive drab Lancaster from silhouette53. A perfect fit and went to a great Halloween costume this year. Thank you for having exactly what I needed.
I will post pics once I get them off loaded from my camera.;)...
USAAF red wool scarf...
I would like to know if the red wool scarf that gregory peck is wearing from "Twelve O'Clock High" in the below images ever existed for the USAAF or is it just a Hollywood fabrication?
I know the first image looks a little brown, but I did a painting of this same image...
Thanks for the input y'all. Good stuff. I shure would love to see some pics of your jackets in action to gauge the color as well. Thanks again.
Cheers!

Hello,
I have been mulling over the idea of getting an A-2 and had come across flightjacket.com. Has anybody here bought any of their jackets? If so what do you think of the quality & customer service? They also offer a custom made service for their jackets. Again, has anyone bought one of...
Unfotunately I'm just a shade too thick for 34 & below. Oh well. I found the pinks at least. But I have seen a couple in my size that went for a mint. I'll just keep searching and asking questions.
Cheers!

Are there any of you out there that have purchased reproductions of the Officers crusher offered out there? Are there any to be had at a reasonable price in either the 'chocolate' or the 'khaki' tan? Or are there vintage militaria sellers out there on the web that carry originals in the 7 1/4 to...
Hello folks,
I found these Officers pinks on OFAS at a store called National Capital Historical Sales.
I'm just wondering if any of you re-enactors out there had bought a pair of these from this e-bay store and what you think of them.
Also, are there any sellers out there that sell the Dark...
USAAC hat acquired... With some questions
Well folks, here is my latest find from OFAS.
WWII Army Air Corps EM's Crusher Cap. Although I'm still on the hunt for the officers Crusher at a reasonable price as well.;)
This is a new branch to my collection ala Douglas...

Well, after wearing the ATF WWII U.S. service shoe for about a week now, I'd have to say that they are quite comfortable for everyday wear. I put some good insoles in that have good arch support and no complaints frm the dogs. ATF has good deals on e-bay when they have what you want on there...
Been wearing the jacket out & about for the past week and it works very well at keeping out the morning chill & goes with just about any hat I have. All in all a good purchase from ATF.
Cheers!

Well I got my ATF service shoes. I like them right out of the box. Good fit & feel. The leather is a tad stiff, but I'm sure they will break-in in due time. They feel fairly solid & indestructable yet weigh no more than my Banana Republic suede wingtips. Plus they look a lot dressier than my...
