...several of the patches would not have made sense during the period the AVG was known as the AVG and under Chinese control, i.e., pre-US involvement. At least one patch indicates they are part of the USAAF (left shoulder). I might be wrong.
As I understand it the Flying Tigers did not get absorbed in to the USAAF until after Pearl Harbor.
A sharp looking jacket nonetheless.
Do you have any McHale artifacts?
