USAF 1974 L-2B Flight Jacket - Patched & Named

Everyone who visits this site knows how much I love flight jackets, and you really can't get a more definitive pattern than the L-2B. Much lighter and (in my humble opinion) more wearable that it's MA-1 elder brother, the L-2B really is the archetypal jacket if you're into flight wear. 

This beautiful example, dated 1974, is named to Captain Robert C "Chick" Smith, who joined the airforce in 1966. He would fly 238 missions in Vietnam with the 306th Tactical Fighter Squadron. He would later spend 30 years flying for Delta. You can read a little about him here.
