Famous People in Flight Jackets

That’s some amazing history. Those Spad pilots had some brass nuts.

My old squadron, VMA-211, was a Skyraider squadron before they traded them in for A-4s.

I'm pleased that our member posted that information. It's great stuff.

Jimmy Stewart in the film Strategic Air Command, which has tons of atomic-armed bomber appreciation and blue nylon appreciation (winter and summer weight). If you haven't seen it yet, try to. Stewart is wearing an L2A in these photos. You can see how short the waist is on them, for wear over a flight suit of course.



Another scene from the film.

Here's another one of those yellow astronaut L2B jackets.

Kristen Stewart wearing a civi G-1 and not looking too happy with the photographer. She wears it in 'Personal Shopper', it's not a great movie but the jacket isn't too bad.

non-military shearling and not "accurate", but it looks much better quality than fashion jackets usually are

Cool. I'm glad you didn't say a name I'd heard before. I am now getting to an age where I don't recognize celebrities I actually know...

Cool, I dont size my jacket for that to happen, i can imagine a fur coat or a great coat worn that way, but the wearer hands wont be seen from behind
