    Cleaning Nylon Flight Wear

    Thud Ridge is a great book about F-105 operations during the Vietnam War and Chicken Hawk is a great first person account by a UH-1 pilot.

    Anyone heard of Flying Equipment Co. G-1

    I did find out that "WPL numbers were issued from 1941 through 1959 under the Wool Products Labeling Act. WPL numbers begin at 00101 and end at 13669. All numbers issued subsequently are RN numbers." from https://www.ebay.com/gds/Clothing-Labels-RN-and-WPL-and-CA-/10000000003229985/g.html If...

    Anyone heard of Flying Equipment Co. G-1

    I just purchased this G-1. The "Made in the USA" tag makes me think that this is a fairly recently made jacket but the stitching on the tag seems original (The manufacturer seemed to not know the difference between an A-2 and a G-1). Gorgeous jacket though.

    WTS: Used Gibson and Barnes Expedition $250 shipped - size 46S

    Hello, I have a dark brown Gibson and Barnes Expedition jacket in size 46 short that I would like to sell. I purchased it used so I don't know if it is goat or lamb. It is very soft so it might very well be lambskin. It is in very good condition with little wear and smells new. I thought...

    FS: eBay - Authentic MFG Co. G-8 jacket

    It is a very roomy 46. Feels about 4 sizes larger than my 46 Martin Lane G-1. Very long sleeves so it would make a good bike jacket. Starting price $285.00 Thanks. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161687056526?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    Here is a link to some photos I posted at that other site if anyone is interested in the continuing saga. It is easier than linking the photos again. http://www.wehrmacht-awards.com/forums/showthread.php?p=6827523#post6827523

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    I am not saying you are wrong about the jacket being a Chinese fake but I spent 15 years in or working with the U.S. military between the Air Force, Army, and working as a contractor and I am unaware of 99.9999% of the equipment that the U.S. government tried but did not adopt. If you...

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    Thanks for the info Luftwaffe-Jacket-Wanted. A couple of guys at Wehrmacht-Awards.com think it is a trials item that wasn't adopted. http://i.imgur.com/fnetG8B.jpg

    Help ID Bundeswehr? Jacket

    Hello there. I just purchased a cheap jacket to wear while riding my bike. I have only seen photos of it so far but was advertised as a Bundeswehr flight jacket. It isn't the usual Luftwaffe grey leather jacket that one normally sees. Here is a link to a poor quality photo of it (provided by...
