Trivia:

The patch on the back of Lambert's A-2 jacket is the Flying Tigers blood chit. These patches were issued to US pilots flying in China during WWII so they could be returned safely by Chinese people (most of whom didn't speak English) back to US air bases in China, thus saving many lives. The flag on the chit is the Nationalist Chinese flag (now Taiwan). The chit reads: "This man is an American fighting for China. Please save and protect him as a fellow soldier". Known as the Flying Tigers, these men were a group of maverick pilots flying for Chiang-Kai-Shek. In a period of 7 months, they shot down over 1000 Japanese planes in the air and ground suffering only a few casualties. The reason Lambert wears it is probably to signify that he's a maverick cop who goes back in time to capture fugitives and bring them back to the future. The jacket is government issue and doesn't include side-entry pockets.

Time Trax

I loved Time Trax and saw every episode when it originally aired. I disagree with a previous post I read about the show though. Granted everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I thought the show was great. Of course, I originally started watching because of that hot hot man Dale Midkiff. Today I saw him on the SciFi channel in a movie called Maximum Velocity. While the movie was good his acting was the bomb!(That means his acting is "really good" in case you were wondering.) I really like him and will get this series someday soon. Time Trax should be updated into a TV Movie. Of course, it would "have to" star Dale Midkiff or else it just wouldn't work. I highly recommend this series and suggest you check it out in reruns. Also, check out anything else starring Dale.
