This week on The What’s The Scuttlebutt Podcast, we sit down with author and photographer John Slempt. John’s passion for photography and World War II history led him to create an impressive coffee table book, Bomber Boys: WWII Flight Jacket Art. In this episode, John shares how he combined his love for photography and WWII to produce this high-quality, full-color book. He takes us through the process of developing the book, recounting his journey to find and photograph original bomber jackets and tell the stories of the men who wore them. Join us for an engaging discussion that brings to life the history and artistry of WWII flight jacket art.
