Also I really like the A9 pair there, "Rough Wear" are famous for the production of the A2 jacket
Honor and a privilege to meet the man. More photos to come.
Awesome score and so nice to see the gentleman in question!!
He also gave me permission to post some of his personal photos.
His plane was called the "night knight". Under exclusive control of the OSS. Painted black for night operations to drop supplies to the resistance. Everything from liberator pistols to American made clothing with a fake European tag sewn in.
Also the family gave me a dvd. Small local production of his story being involved in the carpetbagger project.
Also 2 more items that belonged to him that I missed the first visit. Another pair of flight pants. This time A-10, and the original shirt that goes with the ike jacket.. Photos coming.
