THIS IS A WWII LEATHER BOMBER JACKET THAT MY GRANDFATHER WORE IN THE WAR. HE FLEW B-17S AND WAS IN THE 482ND. NOT SURE OF HIS SQUADRON - MAYBE THE 812ND OR 813RD BASED ON THE PATCH.
HE WAS IN THE 8TH AIR FORCE. THIS IS ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE SINCE HE HAS PASSED, BUT I HOPE TO SELL IT TO SOMEONE WHO LIKES THIS KIND OF STUFF. I WOULDN'T SAY THE JACKET IS WEARABLE - COLLAR AND SLEEVES ARE WORN AND HAVE SOME HOLES. IT'S MORE TO BE APPRECIATED AND ADMIRED - POSSIBLY RESTORED.
