There can't be many examples of movie stars wearing their own clothes in movies. Excellent stuff!

Another great image of Flynn

And I know it's not strictly a flight jacket, but here is Dirk Bogarde in Hunted in a nice leather jacket that resembles a Lewis lumber jacket. In fact, it is almost identical.
