Historic Flight Jackets from World War 2
Flight jackets are held in high regard for the legendary men who wore them. Airmen who risked life and limb in the cold and unforgiving skies saw numerous combat roles that aided the Allied victories in the European and Pacific theaters. Often painted by the men who wore them, each one tells a tale of the service and missions it saw.
Unfortunately, time can be unkind to both leather and paint, making surviving examples of these flight jackets rare. To have one in an auction is noteworthy, and to have more than half a dozen is a windfall.
In our December Premier Auction are several such flight jackets, not just the A-2, but other designs as well, all from the World War 2 era and each with a history as unique as the paintings and patches they bear.

I have my grandfather`s RAF flight jacket that he was issued during the battle of Britain, it`s practically brand new as he was a mechanic and hardly ever wore it...i`ll NEVER sell it!

Wow that's a beautiful collection , I'm a leather jacket freak and watching those particular WW2 American leather jackets it's amazing it would be super nice if they could stay together as a collection dragon man museum would be the perfect place.

Those guys were real men. The whinny Starbucks drinking, participation award recipients of today could never fill their shoes.
