    I bought a set of buttons from MASH and I can verify the quality, and they ship fast too

    '64 Ralph Edwards named,USS Saratoga and VF-103 patches

    Does anyone know a simple and fast way to find info about the pilot ? I tried it a couple of times with other jackets but it's just so damn hard to find any usefull information out there. Google is fine in certain circumstances like with the HML-367 G-1 of USMC Lt. Mike Justus I bought last...

    '64 Ralph Edwards named,USS Saratoga and VF-103 patches

    I "won" this little gem last week on the bay, and I must say it's rare to see these patched jackets so I couldn't pass this one up anyway I will let the photo's do the talking (mind you these are the e-bay photo's but the tracking system says it's very soon now so I will add a few of my own soon)

    Thanks for the input guys, but why all the changes in names and so little in design ?wasn't there also a "moutonless" AN-J-3A out there too ? and would it be correct that the G in G-1 stands for Generic number one ???

    Contract date versus production date AN-6552

    So, one year of production instead of 6 months and from fiscal year 1944 (july 1st 1943) to fiscal year 1945 (july 1st 1944 or just a little later) i.e. second half of 1944 to second half of 1945. I was doing some research on my GW Bogen & Tennenbaum AN-6552 'cause the weather is getting...

    Contract date versus production date AN-6552

    Does anyone know when exactly the AN-6552 was produced ?. From what I can tell the design date was late 1943 but the production started in the second half of 1944 and ended in 1945 (according to Full Gear) while others say only in the fiscal year of 1943 the AN-6552 was made. The production...
