Join us during AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin on 29 July for a presentation about our WWII "bomber jacket" book project. We'll discuss our time in January of this year photographing jackets at the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. Ten very unique jackets were photographed there, including the jacket that belonged to academy award winning actor Jimmy Stewart. It will be given in the EAA Museum Theater, beginning at 1130-1245. Seating is limited, so please arrive early.
