A-2 Jackets
1941-1945
"Taking note of some of the strange and wonderful designs that have been etched onto field jackets and fatigues, the War Department has directed that the practice be discontinued immediately."
-War Department, 1944
A symbol of status, a record of accomplishments and a visible expression of pride in your unit, crew and aircraft the A-2 Flying Jacket has been a treasured possession of aviators since its introduction in 1931.
Issued after the completion of flight training the brown leather jackets, often adorned with bright, colorful and frequently risqué unit insignia and affectionately hand-painted depictions of aircraft nose art, served as a public statement of courage, recording the number of missions flown and enemy fighters destroyed.
