A rare
original G-1 Jacket named to Second Lieutenant James E. Bir, Korean War,
from the famed VMF-311 squadron of John Glenn and Bosox slugger Ted
Williams (Glenn's wingman). Showing iconic Japanese-made Silk/Bullion
chest patch (with silk wear from parachure harness), Leather name tag,

exceedingly scarce and Lt. Bir's G-1 is a stunning example.
