Description

Memphis Belle screen used bomber jacket with signatures and messages from cast members on the inside. (Warner Bros., 1990) A chocolate brown leather flight jacket worn by a member of the Memphis Belle cast. The interior of this jacket was hand signed during production by many of the film's stars including: Billy Zane, Sean Astin, David Straithairn, D.B Sweeney, Reed Diamond and the film's art director Alan Tomkins (+ one unidentified signature). The jacket features a blue leather wing and star patch sewn to the left sleeve, possibly affixed after production as insignia are often removed from jackets after filming.

This is a signature wardrobe piece from the movie and an instantly recognizable piece of cinema history.
