I had two awesome Navy leather bomber jackets stolen from my stored duffel bag just days prior to my rotation off of the Inchon LPH-12 in the balmy waters of Haiphong Harbor, RNVN. They had survived numerous HMM-165 combat missions, medivacs, pilot/crew rescues, and even a few minesweeping missions in the aforementioned harbor. Never been able to replace them or find anything close in quality or function. I was already at my new (and final) duty station at Whidbey Island, WA by the time this photo was taken. I really could have used those warm jackets when flying out of Whidbey!Don't forget the socks..
Anyways, the bomber doesn't do much for me. I wish they had gone with an MA-1 based design and embroidered the Rivian logo on it. Anyways, I still have my bomber from the Army. ?
