This is a picture of my fathers first squadron VA-55 also known as the Warhorses. The time line is the late 1950's aboard the USS Bennington and this sharp looking bunch of naval aviators are shown in a group photo in front of a FJ Fury. The photographs shows the guys wearing a mixxed bag of G-1 flight jackets. These jackets are both World War II and Korean War vintage jackets worn by the squadron mates. My fathers original jacket as shown in the picture was stolen. I found a replacement jacket just prior to his retirement and had his duplicate patches attached. Enjoy! [ur
