I don't see a point in having gussets if they don't work. I don't care if they are visible from behind as long as they do their job! Sounds good to me. I'm tempted...

: The gussets on this jacket are much larger than the FS. They are 2.25" wide by about 9.5" long. They are very similar to the ones on a standard Navy G1 jacket. I find them functional, lessening arm movement restriction from what I have to compare with on my prior Raiders lamb without them. However, they are not probably entirely authentic. The gussets are clearly visible from the rear when wearing the jacket, which is not the case in any movie scene. I was going for function over authenticity, and achieved that goal with this jacket.
