Description
A-2 Nose Art "Mighty Eighth"
Nose art jackets have been very popular since the Second World War.
At first, "nose art" was mainly painted on bomber aircraft. Soon, however, pilots decided to apply the unique "nose art" of their aircraft to their jackets as well (mainly A-2 jackets). This type of art allowed the pilots to express a bit of their own personality.
On the left breast is an SQ insignia of the 833rd Bombardment Squadron (also known as Wyvern Squadron),
A Noble House leather nameplate above the SQ insignia, crafted in leather.
The masterpiece "MIGHTY EIGHTH" can be seen on the reverse side
