The “Black Eagle”, one of the famed “Black Cats” of Navy Squadron VBP-71, seeing extensive action during WWII in the pacific, most notably during the battle of the Philippines in 1944 and was one of the few PBYs to have painted nose art.

Original jacket back art in the spirit of crew painted nose art created by Cockpit USA as a tribute to the crew and their mission accomplishments. The “Black Eagle” features the “Field Modified” leather collar, replacing the traditional mouton collar as crews might have done for easier wear in the Pacific’s tropical climate.
