Dear All,
My first post on this wonderful forum full of great people and jackets alike!
Unlike many of you, I am not a jacket collector but I have always wanted to get myself a nice one, preferably original and with a bit of history to tell. This is by chance that I bumped into this one… It fits me like a glove, it looks good and based on the mountain of information which I have been able to find on the forum, it has also a bit of history.
I would love to hear from you with any comment you have about the jacket and perhaps also its pedigree. From my research, it fits quite well within the Korean War era as evidenced by the Air Task Group 1 and VF-12 Tustodes Pacis Armis patches and what I believe to be a CAG-11 marking. about the latter, I have not been able to find many exemples available for comparison on the net. Its construction looks to be fairly early but I might be wrong. please do let me know if you think otherwise.
Many thanks and… keep on with the good work
best wishes
Alex
