Here in Texas we have had a warm fall not unusual, but the temp dropped last week into the '40's and '50's. Pulled out my Real McCoys Dubow and my Lost Worlds Dubow like them both.

What Women they were! In love with all of them.

That is a shame. I have several of their jackets including a fantastic Dubow I just got from one of the forum members. All are first quality. Thanks for you reply.

I can't find RMNZ's website have they gone out of business? Mike

Thanks guys........that's pretty much what I figured. I have shipped to Italy, Germany, France and England without problems but never to Spain. I did explain to him about the insurance though. Mike

Is there a problem stating a lower selling price on paperwork. Shipping from U.S. to Spain guy asked me to show lower value. Anyone had problems doing that. Thanks Mike

The A-2 flight jacket since WWll has become the icon of a different period continuing until to today. You can assign to this jacket a history that probably no article of clothing has ever accomplished. The fact that it is still manufactured today in it's various iterations from cheap lamb...

Paul.....now you didn't say after your cat bit you or took a hunk of meat out of your leg that you kicked the cat or took it to the pound, so that must mean you are not a cat hater with a personnality flaw, so what I said for sure didn't apply to you. LOL I have 3 dogs and one cat. The cat made...

Gentlemen: I have a theory about people who dislike cats to the extreme. I think in a past life these cat haters were big juicy rats that a big mean cat had for lunch. I have expressed that opinion to several acquaintentces who needless to say did not remain friends. Oh well the truth is hard...

As all brillant men in history they all have their faults. MacArthur ran his course in conjunction with Bull Hulsey and other Navy Admirals that affected the War in the Pacific. MacArthur was a good tactician. Hulsey made it possible. When it came to the big picture in Korea, MacArthur he was...

For you guys that are relatively new to the forum, Mark Moye is one of the most honest, and accomidating sellers I have done business with and believe me I have purchased new and used jackets from Mark with never a problem. I still believe he is a loss to our group. Mike Pope

I have had several Aero jackets, normally wear a 42 but have always ordered a size larger for a good fit (at least for me). I still have a 40-xxx which is a 44 and fits great.

The pics remind me of Backfishfest in Worms, Germany was lucky to have enjoyed 2 of them while I was stationed there. There were always well endowed beer mugs as I remember.

I have a friend I met through the WWII Glider Pilots Association who flew gliders with the 1st Air Commando. If forum member is interested I will ask my friend if he would be interested in talking to him. Very good guy. He is over 90 now. Mike Pope

I am a boomer and when I saw pictures of my Dad in an A-2 I was hooked, still wish he would have made it home with his jacket. I believe the jacket is classic cool and will be around for many years to come. Look at some one wearing an A-2 next to a lambskin mall jacket, even with my bias of...
