LSU Tiger Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 (edited) I wonder where #3 got a flight jacket? Looks like either a B-6 flight jacket or a D-1 mechanic’s jacket. Without a better picture it's hard to tell. The way some men "wheeled and dealed," there's no telling. http://www.eastmanleather.com/eastman-p-179.htmlhttp://www.eastmanleather.com/eastman-p-178.html These Eastman jackets are excellent quality.
