"Times A'wastin'" Jacket The donor, a B-17 pilot with the 91st Bomb Group, paid about $4 each to have "Times A-wastin'" and the 401st Bomb Squadron insigne, featuring Hairless Joe and Lonesome Polecat from the Lil' Abner comic strip, painted on this jacket. The bombs represent 35 missions over France. The artist was Sgt. Tony Starcer, whose artistry appeared on many of the jackets and aircraft of the 91st, including the B-17 Shoo Shoo Shoo Baby, which is displayed in the museum's Air Power Gallery. This jacket was donated by Lt. Col. (Ret.) Paul Chryst, Pottstown, Penn. The uniform was donated by Mr. Kurt Weidner, Akron, Ohio. Click here to return to the WWII Aviator Jackets Overview.
