Here's some books worth buying, full of great photos:

A-2 and G-1 Flight Jackets: Hell-Bent for Leather


American Flight Jackets, Airmen and Aircraft: A History of U.S. Flyers' Jackets from World War I to Desert Storm

I own both and definitely think they're worth a place in a jacket-nut's collection.

Letter Jackets

Lets switch gears here for just a bit. Another jacket I love seeing guys in are letter jackets (also known as letterman jackets or varsity jackets).

Saboteur

Here's a great film that sometime I can catch on one of the channels that play old movies: Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur.

Most of the movie is about the wicked handsome Robert Cummings, handcuffed no less, running from the law... in an A-2 jacket. It's actually a pretty good Hitchcock film, made even better by a good looking guy in a leather bomber.

Oxford Leathers

I came across a listing on Ebay for a G-1 jacket from Oxford Leathers, which is based in South Korea providing jacket to servicemen. They also sell on their website, but right now I only see the A-2 - with the same attractive dude wearing the jackets. Anyone own one?
