i have a b-24 pilot's seat, bought by my 1st wife for me in the late 80's. aside from having my kids, nicest thing she ever gave me. i had it professionally & originally upholstered in beautiful condition. an amazing fact..... i'm 5 foot 9 inches tall, 32 inch waist, 175 pounds, i put my keester in that seat & it hardly fits!!! just goes to show how much bigger on average people are now than 60 + years ago. the seat is documented to have been salvaged by tallichett from india, bought by the ex from jay wisler of tampa florida. it is a great office piece in my escape room!!!
