    What are your favorite Aero designs?

    I've always liked the Longshoreman for myself … But then I saw the modified Bootlegger in Capt. America … I'd like that too! If it was a case of having to pick one of the two, I think it'd be the modified Bootlegger (as I'm kitted out for sheepskin jackets). It's just so right in every way.

    Mitsubishi AM6 ZERO

    FiFi came up to the Hamilton Air Museum a couple of summers ago ... I'd never seen a B-29 at an air show before and it's a thing of beauty. [

    Would you wear it?

    But didn't a blood chit say to the Chinese that the wearer was a US pilot and to be considered a friend and all help should be afforded to him with a reward provided? I always thought it'd be fine to wear a blood chit on the back panel of an A2 if it was the PTO-themed ...

    Perhaps they could re-enact a scene from The Final Countdown with it …?

    Would you wear it?

    I couldn't be paid enough to wear that flag on my arm for the same reasons you stated, Worf. Too many innocent millions were murdered beneath that flag … The art is very nicely done - but thanks to Big J's translation as to the meaning of the patches, I feel that the content and intention...

    B-3 or ANJ-4

    Here you go Sloan - your LONG long range weather forecast. By the time this thing rolls around, just imagine how well broken-in your ANJ-4 would be! It's an investment for the future! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/11733369/Earth-heading-for-mini-ice-age-within-15-years.html

    Where to get patterns for Royal Navy Sweater or RAF sweater and which looks "cooler"?

    Scroll down (and there are a few pages here) and hopefully you'll find something that appeals … http://www.thevintageknittinglady.co.uk/ww2serviceknits.html PS. Don't just go by the photo (as alluring as the lady with the mirror is! Man, for once I'm glad I live in the modern era where there's...

    New Eastman HLB A2 Review

    Beautiful - and great photos for us all to see. Thanks! It's a great fit - and I really like that label too! There's nothing not to like about that jacket. It looks fantastic. I'm very envious of you being at RAF Duxford - alas, I can't make it this year … it's always such a treat to go and it...

    Fantastic colour pics of Blitz-era London

    Such fantastic clarity …! They really bring it home how it was just yesterday to those who were there at the time … things looking so different - and yet so familiar …. Thanks for posting!

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    That last sentence of yours made me cough on my coffee ! A stifled laugh at the wrong moment! Funny.

    Flag on flight jacket---anyone clear this up for me?

    From what I know from my reference books, it is correct. To observe proper flag etiquette, technically the star field should be on the opposite side if the flag was to be worn on the sleeve you've chosen - so that it advances forward for the wearer (which explains why you'll sometimes see them...

    3 questions about my A2 from the real mccoy's

    It does make you wonder how they coped with these "problems" in the war …!!! LOL

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    Oh yeah- the jacket's a keeper alright. Those caramel knits totally make it with that shade of leather. It's perfect. And the look with the jeans is great. It's how I would pair them together. I don't get to read all the threads and must have missed the thread on the jeans - so I'm unfamiliar...

    Is my Aerial Star jacket too short??

    I think your jeans look great with your A2 in your previous photo. Great colour knits - and leather. Those brown tones work perfectly with dark blue (complementary colour) jeans IMO.

    A2's not worn with jeans? Really? :-/ Why not? (just asking).
