"My father was a B-25 tail gunner in the 14th AF (Jiggs Squadron) in WWII. I recently ran across a 2014 sale online of his A2 jacket, with his name (Howard F Avent) and service # (14188071) written inside. I tracked down the seller but she has no record or recollection of the sale. I would naturally like to purchase this jacket if possible, so if anyone has info on its whereabouts, please let me know. Here's a 2014 pic from the sale, and wartime pic of him wearing it."
A matter of hours later Bill Kelso posted that they had it.. What a win....
