Original Item: One-of-a-kind. Dating from the Vietnam war this excellent condition leather G-1 flight jacket with fur collar is size 42 and has a patch on the right breast of the VMGR-152 Fixed Wing Squadron Marine.

On the right breast is the United States Marine Corps officer name JEFF SCOTT and his squadron designation VMGR 152 USMC.

On the right arm is a third patch that reads SURVIVOR MCAS ROSE GARDEN. The Royal Thai Air Base Nam Phong in Nam Phong district, Khon Kaen Province, Thailand in June 1972 became a base of operations for United States Marine Corps air operations by Marine Aircraft Group 15, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (MAW). Elements of squadrons that had previously been located in Da Nang, South Vietnam were moved to Nam Phong starting in June 1972. The advance party that first arrived landed to find basically an airfield in the middle of the jungle. At that time the base consisted of a runway, parking apron and a few wooden buildings. A United States Navy Seabee battalion was soon clearing the jungle and some 10-man tents were hastily erected to sleep and work in. Since the conditions were rugged, the base soon came to be called "The Rose Garden" after the song by Miss Lynn Anderson and the Marine recruiting campaign based on it saying "We never promised you a Rose Garden", depicting a scary Marine Drill Instructor addressing a mortified recruit.

On the left arm is a fourth patch that reads VMGR-352 for the Marine Aerial Refueler Transport Squadron 352 of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.

The "G-1" military flight jacket is the commonly accepted name for the fur-lined-collar World War II-era flight jacket of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. The G-1 remains a current uniform-issue item in naval aviation for officer and enlisted aviation personnel on flying status in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard (i.e., Naval Aviator, Naval Flight Officer, Naval Flight Surgeon, Naval Aircrewman, etc.) and is arguably best known as the leather flight jacket as worn by Tom Cruise in the film Top Gun.
