Gents - the movie is good from a number of perspectives.

1. Great that a WWII film is being made in this modern PlayStation World of ours.
2. It brings to the 'modern' public consciousness the valuable part these African-Americans played in fighting for freedom, whilst they battled great adversity & racism of their own in a predominantly 'white' world.
3.It gives a great opportunity for today's repro jacket manufacturers to showcase the 'old time' flying jackets that we all love ('All' manufacturers, so GW, ELC, Aero, RNNZ..etc).

4. *ADVICE - Please keep any 'brand loyalty' banter away from this room and praise the movie and the hardware used for the positive things it brings to all of us. Thanks Gentlemen :)

Well said sir.............

the Greg Peck's A2 is a civilian issue, the only non military A2 in the movie, but otherwise looks the part! short though.
