Description
Goatsking jacket with original B-17 painting on the reverse. Size 36. The leather is in excellent condition however, a name strip has been removed, as has a round squadron patch. The collar snap on the left base is missing but the top portion is still in the snap holder. The top corner of the right pocket has some broken stitching but still displays very nicely. This jacket is likely from B-17 42-97093 of the 568th Bomb Sqd or possibly the 412th Bomb Sqd. (Both had B-17's with the same name). The paint is excellent other than what appears to have been clouds in the background. The clouds have faded, but the outline is clearly visible. The B-17 and title are outstanding and do not appear touched up or restored. Also has an RAF Ditching whistle attached to the collar.
