Has anyone else had any jacket causing incidents like the one that happened to me ? I was over in Hong Kong for a few days before Christmas and took my Eastman Pearl Harbour A2 with an Aero AVG blood chit on the back. Whilst mooching about the airport waiting for my return flight an oldish oriental guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked, in haltering English, if what it said on the back of my jacket was true and had I infact "fought against our enemies" ? I thought "how old does he think I am" ? Anyway, I said that I wasn't a real Fei Hu Dui (Flying Tiger) but the guy didn't seem to believe me and shook my hand vigourously with lots of head bowing. It was then that I realised that the old Chinese national flag is still used by Taiwan and no mention of China appears in the text. I just thought it was my striking good looks that had caused a few odd glances over the past three days especially from the police.
