Pike Brothers - 1943 B10 Flight Jacket - Olive Drab

£335.00

The U.S. Army Air Force B-10 intermediate flight jacket was initially introduced as a replacement for the earlier leather flight jackets like the A-2s or the B-3s. Highly favoured due to its sharp appearance and higher comfort it was not only worn by fighter aces of the U.S. Army Air Forces, but also by other branches of the U.S. Forces as well. After the war these jackets were used for all kinds of activities and were worn down, which explains their rareness today.

*We would recommend going up one size as these jackets come up small!
