Gents, some year or two ago, I pinched this photo from the 'Nice Period Photos of A-2's' thread. I was doing my usual trawling and spotted the attached photo. First of all, thank you to whoever shared this as I just love this photograph.
Now, I know the Pilot/Soldier in question is one P. McKennon (badd-ass, R.I.P) however, I'd love to know what contract A-2 he's wearing. I initially thought it might be a Rough Wear, with the shoulders and the collar being what led me to that conclusion, however, I'm starting to question that. Also, is that steer-hide? It has a particularly beautiful thick drape. I don't have an inch of the knowledge some of you well versed gents do, I'm learning. Any help would be greatly appreciated! PS. this is definitely one of my all time favourite period A-2 shots.
