Hi,
I'm new to the forum and have had a question that's been bugging me for a while. Someone may be able to help.
I'm lucky enough to own a 1940's Liaison aircraft with a documented PTO combat history.
I've always wanted an A2 and I thought I'd try and get the same style A2 that the pilots that flew the aircraft had issued to them.
Most of the Liaison pilots that would have flown my aircraft, started their flying training/equipment issue in early 1943.
Unfortunately I can't get any clues from photographs as you don't see many pictures of Liaison pilots wearing A2's in the Pacific, due to the obvious heat and low altitudes they flew.
Is it possible to determine what contract jacket they would have been issued? Or is that like asking how long a piece of string is?
Even if I could narrow it down to a few contracts/makers that would be a start.
