Just got back from DC and a visit to the National Air and Space Museum. Thought everyone might like afew pics of Gen. Clare Chennault's original A-2 along with his Flying Tiger blood chit number 0001.

Great General and great jacket. BK makes a great replica. For those interested, it can be seen here:

Ahh, DC. Went there in the eighth grade. Everyone was making a fuss about the White House but the Air and Space Museum was the real treasure!

The BK jacket is probably exactly what Gen. Chennault's A-2 looked like back in 1941 when it was new. Beautiful repro Andy!
