hawg45 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 Trying to find out information on this jacket. The front patch seems to be 47th bombardment squadron, but I can not find any relationship with bomb boogie. Any idea on value? Any info would be appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
