Famous People in Flight Jackets

That appears to be Keenan Wynn in the stripes.

Yes it is! He was the founder of FART, which both Lee and Steve McQueen were members of!

Well, I wouldn't have guessed this in a million years, if you put Keenan Wynn, Steve McQueen and Lee Marvin in a certain famous search engine, a picture of me comes up! We did have a couple of mutual friends, but still, me. Now I won't be able to get any of my motorcycle helmets on!

Bogart in "Tokyo Joe", a movie I've wanted to see for a long time but have never been able to find a cheap copy.

Finally, some one I recognize!

Paul Simonon in an A-2 repro. Always a style icon for me but I think this might be the first image I've seen of him in what was presumably a brown leather jacket? The same documentary had Topper playing drums in an Irvin. Now that's a way to work up a sweat!

Some old Gary Cooper films: "Lilac Time" (with fur collar) and "Wings".

Doctor D. - the coat on the right looks more like a leather trench-coat than a flight jacket - splendid nonetheless!

William Holden, my fashion idol, wearing an A-2 jacket in "Picnic." He actually wears this jacket through half of the movie — when he isn't shirtless. This is the best picture I could find. If someone has a better picture and can identify the contract, that would be great.

plus an A-2 from a different film...

Amelia Earheart sanded her jacket, then slept in it to get rid of the "brand-new" look.

He's got too much sprezzatura going on

I learned a new word today. But I always wondered if there is a term for... well, sprezzatura.
