Got this jacket yesterday. I'm quite pleased with it as I think its interesting, it appears to be a D1 ground crew jacket which has been personalised and used by a pilot. The label is incorrect, as it is for a pair of trousers. It has a hand made name patch sewn to the front, and a hand painted musical note 'G' on the sleeve, which is the owners initial. Its well used with many old repairs. The label manufacturer is US but it has English zips, like some other USAAF jackets I have seen.
Shown here with other USAAF aviators uniform and equipment. Any comments welcome. Doug
