Turns out my G1 flight jacket I had written about and posted a photo of looks identical to the one McCain wore when his plane was shot down and he then held captive for so long. I've read McCain's brother somehow got the jacket later, has kept it all these years, and had been taking it to campaign talks he was giving. Naturally, the jacket is covered with regalia.

The G-1 was, and most likely still is, issued to US Naval Aviators when they are in flight school. Marines and Navy are Naval Aviators. The WWII jackets looked the same as the one I was issued in 1983. McCain's "covered with regalia" jacket is what is called a "Boy Scout jacket" in the Marine Corps aviation community.

Let's just hope you won't ever get shot down and held captive...

Not likely, thank G-d!
