Just a thought but it seems from time to time we go back and forth regarding A2 contract dates and whether or not a particular A2 is "prewar" or wartime issue, etc. Where can we turn to get concrete information or is this just all left for specualtion at this point in time.
Recently on ebay I saw a 1756 that had bombing missions written by its original owner in its lining starting in 1943.....I certainly understand that it could have been written after the fact or even fabricated. I also saw a 23383 unnamed goatskin contract described as "prewar" but couldn't help but notice the AAF property stamp on the label which most of us have taken to mean a wartime production. Just makes you wonder...
I don't remember where I saw the info on the RW 18091 goat contract as "late 1941 or early 1942" but whomever had it could you please re post it (may have been on the old site). Maybe Swing?
