HAND PAINT
457th BOMB. GROUP
- This is the reproduction of the type A-2 flight jacket with the hand-painted squadron based on vintage jackets. The 457th Bombardment Group was activated in Washington State in July 1943 with the 748th, 749th, 750th, and 751st Bombardment Squadrons assigned. The group began training immediately after its formation in the B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber to prepare for overseas deployment. Departing for the European theater on New Year's Day in 1944, it was assigned to bombing missions attacking German oil refineries and aircraft factories and was a key organization in the 8th Air Force. The unit insignia hand-painted on the front leather patch was nicknamed the "Fireball Outfit", as the design suggested. The right sleeve was stylishly painted with the same tail markings as the B-17, and the 35 sorties indicated the arduous mission of the group.
