Famous People in Flight Jackets

any guesses as to Clarkson's G1 jacket maker ?

Don't know if you already found out, but it's an Eastman: http://www.eastmanleather.com/jeremy-clarkson-c-87_99.html

Cool, thanks, was wondering... Of course, it should be obvious. Clarkson won't buy anything but British, and then, only the best.

Not a famous person, but a scene from an old movie "The City That Never Sleeps". Note the A2 on the taxi driver... this seems a bit early for side entry pockets.

I'm not a member of the Leatther Jacket Tribe but I will click a link for pictures of Marilyn Monroe!

That said, I'm sure the Boot Tribe will like her what's on her feet.

I just came across these photos on Getty Images. They were taken in 1942 in Goose Bay and show USAAF and RCAF personnel working together. If you look closely you'll see a variety of gear.

Motion picture director William A. “Wild Bill” Wellman. While in Paris as an Ambulance driver during WW-I, Wellman joined the French Foreign Legion and was assigned as a fighter pilot and the first American to join N.87 escadrille in the Lafayette Flying Corps. As a combat pilot in 1917-18, Wellman had three recorded "kills," along with five “probable kills,” before being shot down by German anti-aircraft fire on March 21, 1918.
