| Dear Sir,<br/>    I have a few questions about a flight jacket that I happened upon. It has handpainted &quot;Nose Art&quot; from a plane called &quot;Tantalizing Takeoff&quot;  The front of the jacket has a crest with the words &quot;Mors <br/> Ab Alto&quot; below it. On the back is the actual nose art from the plane (B17-G) Below the art are hand painted emblems of bombs (24 total) and 8 &quot;nazi&quot; symbols. I was told that the bombs represent missions and the nazi symbols represent the number of Luftwaffe planes shot down. Also, I was told that the design of the jacket is indicative of a &quot;Bubble Turret Gunners&quot; uniform. Could you shed any light on this matter? I believe it to be genuine and would like to donate it to the family of the soldier if I can find them. Thejacket is in great shape but all of the military tags have been removed. The only visible tag looks to have been burned but appears to show the colors of the American Flag. Any help would be appreciated. I thank you in advance for your time.<br/> <br/> Sincerely,<br/> <br/> Chester Sohoski<br/>
