That's my Flying Tigers jacket I got from my grandfather when he died (Luck me I was the only one big enough that it would fit). I like to wear it when I go with my friends and there ricers. For those who don't know the Flying Tigers was a special volunteer unit that went over to China to fight the Japanese before the US got involved in WW2. The back of the jacket reads "This foreign person has come to China to help in the war effort. Soldiers and civilians, one and all, should rescue, protect, and provide him medical care" But a Chinese friend also told me it translated to "I'm an American Pilot here to kill the Japanese, Please regard me kindly." depending on where in china you were from.
