Just wanted to share my horse hide Flight Suits (now G&B) A2 back panel art work.
I purchased the A2 in 1991 and had an artist friend paint it on the jacket right after the purchase, so the art work is already almost 19 years old! Paint is holding up well!
I believe an 8th AF (ETO) B17 carried the "FLAK SHY LADY" name, but mine is obviously
a Pacific Theatre theme. The pin-up is actually copied from a period photo of a model
and not from an existing ww2 nose art design...So one of a kind...looking "shy"
