DETAIL
USAF L-2A EXPERIMENTAL TEST SAMPLE FLIGHT JACKET...
USAF
Flight jacket
L-2A
This is a test sample.
Removable
This is an extremely rare sample equipped with a removable vest.
I don't think you see many details like pockets in the lining.
The zipper is SCOVILL
The snap buttons are STIMPSON
The receiver is DOT
The size is marked as 40SHORT.
The size was just right; I didn't feel that the sleeves or overall length were too short.
Can be worn loosely
I think it's a very good size.
You can catch a glimpse of the trial and error involved in development at that time.
This is a valuable test sample.
