Unhappy WW2 Flight Jackets

For a number of years I have had a table at our twice a year Military Show......due to 2 heart attacks and heart surgery have now opted out this year.....anyway......last year at our Spring show.....had an elderly gentleman come by with a WW2 Flight jacket....with hand painted aircraft on the back...still had the pilots wings on front...along with all the patches......said he wanted to sell it...during our conversation..he said it was his during WW2 as he was a pilot on a B-24......so it upset me that he would sell it...and I asked if he didnt have a son that would want it...or a grand son or daughter or grand daughter..??....he said not a single person in his family wanted anything to do with that "old war stuff"....one of our members collects the pilots jackets and I knew he would treat him right on the price...so i pointed him out.....approximately half an hour later he came by....thanked me.......and left the show.........sad....but thats the way it goes now..........
