Merchandise

	Flight Jackets and T-Shirts ...and patches and insignia... oh my!
The artist, Pete Femia, says that if there's enough interest he'll make a 43rd BG T-Shirt and is definitely wanting to make a 5th AF T-Shirt. His site indicates that he does copies of original A-2s, interpretations of nose art, tributes, etc... He sounds malleable and the graphics on his page show good work. So keep an eye on his site and place your orders there.
