It was a 16160 wasn't it?

Fantastic! Thanks guys, and where can I obtain a repro of this contract? Which color was his jacket? and what's on his jacket? Needless to mention, I am trying to reproduce his jacket here, for keepsake.

Apparently, Chennault had two Aero jackets, the one with famous flying tigers patch and a lining chit (in Washington DC) is the Aero 16160, but he also had another A2, the Flying Trapezers, when he was 39 years old. I guess I'll pass the digging of that one and stick with the latter one, as it's historically more significant.
