Presentation: "Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art"
We offer a visual journey through museums and private collections of WWII "bomber jackets" from across America. Stories of the men and women who wore these iconic garments continue to fascinate, educate, and entertain to this day, and the artwork is instrumental in telling that story. Professional photographs of the jackets and portraits bring this rich period of American military art to the present day audience. Supplemented with insights on the cultural and fashion impact these jackets continue to have, how to collect the jackets without losing your shirt, and professional recommendations for their care. Supplemented with short audio and video clips from WWII veterans.
Run time: 1 hour with 15 minutes for Q&A.
Technical Requirements
Microphone, digital projector, room where the lights can be dimmed. A podium or table is always nice.
