Not about this jacket but would the Flying Tigers have regular issue military garments as they were not associated with the USA at first but were flying for the Chinese? ::shrug::
But it is a cool jacket. Bet it will start conversations when you wear it. ::nod::
Lol.... already seems to be topic of discussion :)

OldFolder. Those are two of the best looking people I’ve ever seen in uniform. You must be very proud. I’ve added them to my prayer list. For a safe deployment.
Thank you so much for your compliments and prayers for our children.

Why are there posts about BS fantasy clothing items on a knife forum? If the mods here were doing their job this post would have never seen the light of day. There are tons of militaria and uniform forums where this would be an appropriate post.

BTW that jacket was sold in the 70s or 80s by one of the clothing stores that used to live in malls. the jacket and the patches are total fantasy.

First of all I would like to thank everyone for their input!
In closing I've found this jacket wasn't issued by the American Air Core!
I don't believe it was by the Chinese Air force either after looking at numerous patches!
What bothers me is why someone would use the (905 TAC FRT SQ) call letters instead leave the banner blank?
This jacket is very well made and seems to involve the Flying Tigers.. a reenactment; a Military citation ;a movie prop; the Korean conflict or some other event could very well be the reason this historical jacket was made if so what year and how many?
Perhaps we will never know but would be interested if any more information would become available!
