I think it is really neat that they took the time to document these.... Did you notice what Bomb Group they were from? The 401st, which will be Champaign Lady's group colors. One thing I DID notice looking at them this time was that in my future jackets, I need the noseart to encompass more of the jacket. I will have to pass that along to the artists themselves.....

I've always been a fan of the old bomber jackets...kind of goes along with the territory when you grow up as an air force brat. I've got most of my dads old flying stuff, even his original pilot training helmet /O2 mask, and another one he wore in a SAC Bomb Comp.
