Description


You are bidding on an EXCELLENT and VERY RARE & NAMED example of WW2 USAAF 532nd Bombardment Squadron Private Purchase Flight Jacket!  This Squadron flew the Douglas SBD/A-24 Dauntless.

The 3rd Bombardment Group was a light bomber group that took part in the long campaign in New Guinea and the reconquest of the Philippines, before flying a few missions over Japan before the end of the war.  Though most squadrons within the group flew the A-20 Havoc and B-25 Mitchell, 8th Squadron was equipped with the A-24 Dauntless.

Made of leather with wool cuffs, this item is in VERY NICE used condition!  Some marks, stains, and wear, but nothing that detracts.  Cuffs show some holes and tears, but that is quite typical for the age.  Main zip appears to be the original.  Still retains all the original snaps, but there is some slight corrosion on the fittings.  Some obvious wear on the collar as you can see in the photos.  Still retains all the original hand embroidered patches, including the 8th Bomb Squadron; 5th Army Air Force; 3rd Bomb Group; and CBI.  Manufacture label and size are still present on the interior, and it is still fully lined.  A PERFECT addition to any collection or display!


 

Please email me if you need additional photos or information.


 

——————- PAYMENT —————–

 Payment should be made within 7 business days at the end of the auction unless buyer contacts me for other arrangements. I accept all forms of payment. 

 

 ——————- SHIPPING —————– 

My goal is to ship within 7 days from auction end. However, depending on circumstances, it may take up to an additional 1 week from receipt of confirmed payment. If you need it shipped sooner, please let me know and I will do our best to accommodate.

  

——————- TERMS OF SALE —————– 

Most of my items are vintage, and as such are AS-IS, so you must therefore expect a degree of wear due to age and/or usage. I will describe each auction to the best of my knowledge and take as many photos necessary to ensure you are pleased upon receiving your item. All sales are final, so please make sure your questions are answered to your satisfaction before you purchase. 

 

——————- ABOUT ME —————– 

Although my passion is the Me109, I do offer many other German Aircraft (Fw190, Me262, etc.), as well as USAF and Japanese items. Occasionally I do offer many non-vintage items such as prints and art relating to the time period. As a private collector myself, I am constantly on the lookout for historical memorabilia, authentic photographs, artwork or anything unique relating to military aircraft.
