Re: Re: Navy Flight Jacket

I think they are the same company that advertises in Naval Institute Proceedings and Naval History Magazine.

Re: Navy Flight Jacket

I have a real one that is in passable shape. Also have all the patches (some original). It's lost it's luster after recent events.

Re: Re: Navy Flight Jacket

I too have a Navy flight jacket, handed down by my father. He first wore it in 1955 when he commanded VF-52 in the Korean War. It now has Swift patches but hangs in the closet, the image tarnished by past events.
