Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Hi @hawg45, you may have all ready come across this information but thought I would pass it on for your further reference. Your Jacket looks to be in pretty decent shape. I have seen them sell any where from $400 to $1200 or more here in the states. Patches and paint, bring value up, also if its named will increase value, they are highly collectable. I will keep searching for more info. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/47th_Bombardment_Squadron 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a really nice Jacket you have there! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Rat Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Hello Hawg (Do you have a Harley-D?) Thanks for the images and for showing the WW2 flight jacket, sorry I can't find anything to do with "Bomb Boogie" but as Tony mentioned that probably most U.S. Aircrew painted their own design on the back.....as the images show. When I was 16 and bought a scooter, a Lambretta TV 175, and was a definite "MOD" with the two tone suit, Ben Sherman shirt, kipper tie, I had a parka and hand painted on the back about 12+ WW2 USAAF patches on the back....Didn't impress the "Greasers/ Rockers at Brighton Beach,in the mid 60's when we used to fight with them...!!! I had plenty of mirrors and a super paint job, and loads of lovely girls!!! Great Jacket, Brilliant artwork (Keep it, you may not find another like this).......Best to you.....Desert Rat/ Ian Edited October 6, 2019 by Desert Rat correction to text Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davejb Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 , I might be wrong about it but I think the front rooster badge might have been added much much later, go full enlargement, and look at the three different types of stitching, the bottom has edge stitching, then look at the right, its zigzag, then moving up it has line stitches, surely if this was done period, it would have been done on a machine with one type of regular stitch, also with the amount of leather that has creased on the front, there would be some on the badge, and its exceptionally clean compared to the painted on motive on the rear and this might also be why there is no relation to Bomb Boogie and the front, that you can find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
