Posted by Jim Ash Ironic that I am reading your post on a Navy Hurricane Hunter flight jacket because last year at the request of my lady friend, daughter of Capt. Edward L. Foster who was Skipper of VW-4 at NAS JAX 1955-56, I had the honor to recreate a jacket and present it to him July 4, 03. The moment was absolutely priceless. Unfortunately he only enjoyed it for one Florida winter as we lost him last week (August 17, 04) to cancer. If you have not found a jacket, I can put you in touch with people who can supply the jacket, WV-4 (?) patch (5 inch size) and a leather name tag. Also the jacket manufacturer can sew the patch/tag on before the lining goes in to eliminate the stiching marks. The quality was outstanding! Let me know if I can help... Jim Ash
