He was 5'7", as most pursuit guys had to 'fit' in the cockpit. There were exceptions of course like R.T. Smith who was 6'4" ish, but then the P-40 was reasonably roomy. The tall guys were usually sent over to fly bombers.

I am galled that J.C. could be so sanctimonious as to:

1. Believe grain could exist on an early A-2;

2. Dare not to consult with this forum beforehand and;

3. Not get our permission first to build his customer's jacket this way.

I won't even speculate as to how the man spends his free time when we are not being marginalized. :)

My ELC 1729 is a size 46. The collar is noticeably shallower than the GW's, perhaps because it wasn't scaled up from the (presumably smallish) original.
