Glen, are you sure it doesn't spell Bronx?

Any nomenclature in the coat?
Does it have a zipper up the front?
Could be aircrew coat. Can you post pics of it?
Thanks.

It could be a B-10, B-15, B-15A or possibly a B-9 or B-11 if it has a hood. Post some pics, I'm curious to know since I collect that sort of stuff.

Yes it is spelled Baonx I am wondering if some one might not of check the spelling . Most of the Print is faded from what I could read It is field Jacket M-1943 it has Draw strings . their are six sets of Buttons on the front of it . four sets of pockets all single button shut . If I can figure out how to post a photo of it I will . It is a very big deal for me to even get in to my Email let alone to post a photo . Was their a B-29 named the Bronx ?
