Can any one get some screen grabs of his flight jacket for me.
I'm looking for the art that is on it to be specific.

Thanks

Wow... Deja Vu.

I was just talking about that movie yesterday. 1941.

Turn this tub around, we're going back to Tokyo.
 
I found my official movie magazine of 1941.
On each collar he has a four leaf clover outlined in white, on his left chest Wild Bill is speeled out in a rope font with a pair of dice showing a 3 and a four under that. Left pocket flap has about six gold torpedos outlined in black painted on it. The right flap has three swastickas on point outlined in white next to three rising suns. His right sleeve has a sign post with white signs saying TOKYO, HOLLYWOOD, BARSTOW, BERLIN, NEW YORK, PARIS and CHICAGO, all pointing to the right. The left sleeve has an eightball painted near the top and an upsidedown horseshoe with the army air corps symbol inside inside it just below the elbow. the magazine doesn't show the back at all.

I've been without my computer for over a week and it still isn't the same. I no longer have Power DVD but I think scans from the DVD are the way to go.
As a side note, I saw a photo of some Japanese men in repro A2s and one was wearing Kelso's jacket.
Good luck with your project. That is a great jacket.

Excellent Thanks for the help.

Here's one where you can see the swastikas on his pockets.

Do we ever see the back of his jacket in the movie? I thought he kept his chute on the entire time.
 
I want to say these were reproed by Real McCoy in Japan but I could be wrong - nevertheless - their stuff is priced through the roof
 
I checked the Japanese Real McCoy's site today and didn't find Kelso's jacket. :(

No-one has screencaps yet?
