A2 Jacket - 548th NFS: This is a very collectable and very rare item. This is a jacket from a pilot of the 548th Night Fighter Squadron based in various pacific locations during WW2. The 548th NFS flew against the Japanese from Hickam Field, Hawaii, Kipapa Gulch, Hawaii, Det. Siapan, Siapan, Det.(Ground Echelon) Iwo Jima, Iwo Jima and Le Shima, Ryukyus. They had 5 enemy kills and flew P-61 and P-70 aircraft. The pilot is unknow but it believed he came to settle in the UK and added the WW2 'Acme' british made cork ball whistle. This has been in a private USA collection for over 6 years and several offers have been turned down. The Army Air Corp badge is just visible on the left sleeve as is the AAC stamping on the inside of the jacket. The front left of the jacket bears the squadron patch of a smoking cat with torch made from leather and the dye is still visible in places. There is a small tear under one of the armpits and general genuine leather wear in various places. This jacket is still in a wearable condition but of course belongs in properly stored museum conditions. I apologise for blanking out the squadron patch but again this is extremely rare and is probably the only genuine one in existence in the world. If you are a genuine buyer then please email me for pictures. I may ask for references to ensure this item is not replicated! The price is on application only (POA).
Please email me if you want to purchase this item,or require more information. FULL insurance is included in the postage costs. |
