Wwii Original Us Army Air Corps Named A-2 Flight Leather Jacket
This is an original WWII US ARMY AIR CORP A-2 FLIGHT JACKEt, size 40, worn by K. Holmes his name written on the leather name tag right above the 9. FIGHTER SQUADRON patch on the left side of the jacket. Fighter Squadron belonged to the 49. W535-AC-27753, that, according to US Army Corps records, was assigned to THE CABLE RAINCOAT CO. This particular contract was for the manufacture of 50,000 A-2 Flight Jackets. Name was never written on the labels of the jackets they manufactured. The Jacket is in excellent condition for its age. It shows gently handled wear. It is better preserved that most samples that I have seen. The leather is still soft on the body of the jacket, and a little stiffer on its sleeves, with a perfect brown patinated color. Conmar zipper in good working order. Leather is in excellent condition throughout, with the exception of a couple of tiny punctured, but unopened areas on the right sleeve, and a couple of small punctured (although uncut) areas on the left sleeve.
