Other than the painting on the back 0f the jacket, there are no other identifying info on it. I aquired it at an estate sale while living in California some time ago. The jacket is in excellent, almost unworn condition, other thanm a small amount of flaking of the leather from age, and some damage to the zipper. (A small piece cut from it) The jacket is an extra large size and a great piece of history. I now live in Mary Esther, Florida, near Ft. Walton Beach (Hurleburt AFB and Eglin AFB are just 3 miles east of where I live. Thanks Don , for your input. I was hoping to put a squadron identification with the jacket. My book lists four different squadrons attached to the 401st BG
