Hello all...I just found this A2 Jacket, I have been looking for this Squadron patch for 20+ years now...My Grandfather was Lead Bombardier on 66 missions with this group (585th B/S). I can just make out the tag, and it reads J.A. Dubow, W535-AC-2096?...It also doesn't say Property US ARMY, US AIR FORCE...The jacket also has a collar stand. The man who wore the jacket was in service from 1938, till 1945 Can anyone help me date this A2 Jacket?...Any help would be Great...Thank You...

Gone, but not forgotten.
That's the first Dubow contract Troy, W535-AC-20960, and it dates from 1941.

On the zipper pull? ......... dunno.

Hello Ted...This is the patch John, from Flymac made me, and Senicko. It's a copy of the 585th B/S patch. I sent him some photos of the patch, and he did an Awesome job. Senicko liked it so moch he had one made as well...We spoke about this way back on the old forum. It seems like 4ever, but I found a real one at last...Thank's...
