: Alabama Smith was the name of one of the pilots in the John Wayne movie"Flying Tigers",a film almost as good as Raiders.Also, while the other pilots wore standard bomber jakets,with the elstisized fabric at the wrists and waist,Alabama's was like Indy's.


Yeah, I really like that movie too. LL Bean offers a Flying Tigers A-2 goatskin jacket that I purchased a couple of years ago. If I remember correctly the movie takes place in China before the US got involved in the war. I always thought it was made in the early 40's, before Pearl harbor, and served in getting people more aware of what was going on in China at the time. May be wrong on this though. Steve
