Jimmy Stewart, any ideas on the flight patch?View attachment 85216

Isn't that his own Rough Wear with his unit patch?

Eddie doesn't look right without his pitchfork.

Yes, I would have thought you might have known that's a 703rd Bomb Squadron, of the 445th Bomb Group patch from when JS served with the group at Tibbenham - which incidentally is just a few miles from where I live.

Course Steve, cheers, duh I should have known, he was commanding officer of 703 equipped with b24's no? Brain fart day methinks haha

I like Stephen Boyd's jacket in Seven Thunders, I've never figured what it is, it's a button up with a fur View attachment 85209or mouton collar

It's actually corduroy.

It's actually corduroy.

Corduroy? You can see the shine on the leather and arms Huh?

 

[Spitfireace]

collar is corduroy, not mouton.

Ah I thought you meant the jacket haha ok so you've seen this before?

 

[Spitfireace]

Nope haven't seen it before. I can see the horizontal ridges on the material. Maybe you need to increase your glasses magnification. Or maybe my computer monitor is better.

 

[JonnyCrow]

Nah nothing to do with my glasses, the photo looked dark to me on a mobile obviously a computer monitor is going to be better haha

Robert Lansing 12 o clock high View attachment 85206

Notice the fit on this one . With winter wear underneath it looks good. In a T-shirt it would be 2 sizes too big .

I remember watching "Hanover Street" and thinking how bad the A-2s looked -- never noticed the really bad knits!

Just seen on YouTube a1982 gig Rockplast (?) from Holland/Belgium, principally to watch guitarist David Lindley and its a jam session playing Dylan’s Knocking on Heavens Door and up pops Eric Burdon (Animals) wearing an original A2! A tad big with long sleeves on him but has shoulder patches and blood chit on back! The CBI patch on left shoulder looks like it’s almost hanging off.
