The Type A-2 flying jacket was officially standardized by the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1927, as the successor to the Type A-1 flying jacket. The military specification number for Type A-2 is 94-3040, Drawing Number 31-1415, but spec. labels found in the jackets themselves show this to be 30-1415.

The A-2 was traditionally awarded to an Army Air Forces officer upon completion of basic flight training, and always before graduating to advanced training. The informal standard system of distribution was airmen lining up in front of boxes containing jackets of various sizes and handed out by the base Quartermaster.

The flight jacket became a treasured item to all airmen, and was worn with as much pride as their wings. During their service, crews often added and removed squadron patches, rank marks, mission markings and occasionally painted artwork depicting the type of aircraft they flew, or the Nose Art painted on their aircraft.

WE GET OURS AT NIGHT 

The famed black cat with the big grin first appeared in Australia in the year 1919. The question of who created Felix remains a matter of dispute. Australian cartoonist, Pat Sullivan claimed that Felix had been inspired by Rudyard Kipling's "The Cat That Walked by Himself” while Sullivan’s lead animator, American Otto Messmer claimed that Felix was based on an animated Charlie Chaplin that Messmer had animated for Sullivan's studio earlier on. To this day, the identity of Felix's creator remains in question. Either way, the cat quickly gained popularity and became the first cartoon character that had gained favour in silent movie audiences.

Aside from the distinction of being the first animated character to win the hearts of silent film audiences, Felix made television history when he became the first image ever broadcast by television when RCA used a Felix doll for a 1928 NBC experiment in New York's Van Cortlandt Park.

The experiment consisted of Felix being placed on a rotating phonograph turntable and photographed for two hours each day for nearly a decade as RCA fine-tuned the picture's definition. This transmission is considered by many to have established the little black cat named Felix, as the world's first television star.

After his walk through Hollywood, the grinning feline began its military career amidst a battle between two US Navy squadrons who had claimed ownership of the stray cat.  In the end, the victorious squadron was VF-3, a squadron formally known as the “Shooting Stars”. Now sporting a bomb with a lit fuse, Felix was soon painted on the squadron aircraft, and patched on the crew flight jackets.(Including famed aviators Charles Lindbergh, and Butch O’Hare)

In 1948, the nickname "Tomcatters” was adopted by the squadron, and to this day, they carry the callsign “Felix"

Following his famous transatlantic flight in 1927, Charles Lindbergh focused on promoting the development of aviation, particularly commercial aviation. Lindbergh wrote, "America has found her wings, but she must yet learn to use them."  In many ways, Lindbergh's many ideas became the standard for aviation in the United States and, around the world. 

On Jul 7, 1929, Transcontinental Air Transport inaugurated its first 48-hour coast-to-coast passenger transportation service, with Col. Lindbergh acting as pilot and his wife, Anne, acting as unofficial hostess.
