1943 B10 Flight Jacket olive drab
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 increased 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 out, which explains their rareness today.
