Friends of the Museum Francisco J. Campos Francisco J. Campos explains the origins of the blood chit. " The chit provoked funny moments on some Chinese and Japanese restaurants in BCN (I love eastern food): try to imagine four Chinese waitresses on my back reading aloud what is written in pictograms... I've noted also that Japanese waiters behave with special respect when they see the chit, and they're very friendly with me. When I received a new 'air-related' gift in the form of a miniature flying jacket from Elite Force - Aviator series, (www.blueboxtoys.com), I decided to customize it as an AVG one, since flying jackets have changed very little in design since WW-II. My father-in-law is a handcraft book-binder (you can visit his page at www.santiagodotu.com) and provided me with genuine leather pieces to use as a base for my little project. After digging in books and Internet for the proper insignia reference, I painted the emblems over brown leather using miniature acrilic paints and a Rotring technical pen for the intricate pictograms. I did later another two miniature chits, one for my miniature soldiers display, and another to thank MiGMan for being a gentleman and a friend. Of course, my love for flight sims is the main cause of my interest in aviation history and collectibles, a hobby I feel really proud of and which makes a real difference among other computer aficionados like me.
