I had Jerome (Cheaterome) paint my Buzz L-2A with a Korean War blood chit that was copied from an original L-2A from the C-47 unit the "Kyushu Gypsies."
While Jerome had the jacket I was able to come across an original Kyushu Gypsies patch on Ebay which I later had put on the jacket.
Here's the end result!

Here's some pics of pilots from the "Kyushu Gypsies" Korea 1952-54.

Thanks Paddy!

Jerome did an outstanding job with the chit.

He is truly a master artist, and a heck of a good guy.

I can't recommend him enough!

Wow, look at how blue the jackets were in the period photo, I wonder if they were ever that vibrant of a blue or if its just the photo.
