Excellent studies, thank you. I particularly like the artwork on the back of Bill Fager's jacket.

Great photos ! Nicely done .
Some great jackets .

Knockouts all of them. Are we sure that first one wasn’t mis-identified? Looks like a classic war-time Dubow to me…

Many thanks for posting these excellent pictures, Wz. I visited the Flight Musesum some 14 years ago and I don't remember that many A-2s being exhibited.

And I'd agree with Jan on that that first jacket looks a lot like a Dubow. The collar screams Dubow and the beveled pockets typical of the Bronco contracts are absent.

Thanks @Wz1999 for sharing.

These Jackets are amazing

 

[Brettafett]

Great stuff, thanks for sharing, yes.
Have too agree that the first pic, appears to be a Dubow 1755, not a Bronco.

It's exactly what I was thinking also. Collar is definitely a Dubow and pockets are definitely not Bronco.
