WWII FLIGHT JACKETS

USAAF P-61 Black Widow Painted A-2 Jacket  A fantastic jacket from the 348th NFS.  A solid original made by "Star Sportswear Mfg. Co." in a (size 40).  Features a leather 348th NFS patch to chest, original leather name plate to "H.W. McBeth".  Original knits in excellent condition, original Talon zipper fully functional,  solid leather body with typical light age wear only.  A large P-61 image on the back ~ the paint is in very good original condition as shown.   An excellent textbook original jacket. Night Fighter jackets are scarce these days!  $3,950.00

USAAF 8th Air Force Painted A-2 Jacket  390th Bomb Group B-17 artwork.  A great "Poughkeepsie Leather Coat Co." made jacket in a larger (size 44).  Soft leather shell, extra clean liner, original zipper fully functional.  Period replaced knits in excellent condition.  Never had any other insignia or name strip applied.  The paint condition is very good to excellent.  A great display example in a large size!  A nice opportunity.    SOLD $3,200.00

USAAF ATC / CBI Pilot's Type B-3 Shearling Flight Jacket  Named to "W.J. Sutton" - this is a rare (size 48) jacket, and an early 42' dated two-toned example.   A Government contract label and according to the drawing number and order number information this was made by "Berstein & Co." which I believe only made shearling clothing for the Government during WWII.  Features a nice theater made "India China Division - Air Transport Command" (ICDATC) patch to right chest and a standard decal on leather Air Trasport Command patch to left chest.  About the only issue on the jacket, the shearling has torn away a bit (about 6") towards the very top of the zipper run (as pictured), but is fairly un-noticeable with the jacket zipped up.  The zipper functions fine.  It displays beautifully! $2,000.00

8th Air Force A-2 Jacket 1 705th Bomb Squadron, 446th Bomb Group A very clean original early Government Contract jacket in a (size 40).  All original knits in very good condition, original Talon zipper fully functional, original spec tag and liner, which shows some typical use wear to the neck area (as shown).  The 705th patch to chest is English made.  No name tag (since removed).  The leather shell is beautiful ~ clean and soft / supple.  Displays nicely.  The (only) detraction I could point out is, whoever sewed the squadron patch on the jacket, kind of "bunched" it towards the bottom causing a bit of ripple to the leather as you can probably see.  I would probably release that inside and smooth it out for better display.  Other than that, it's a beauty!  $2,000.00

8th Air Force A-2 Jacket 2  413th Bomb Squadron, 96th Bomb Group.  A very clean original jacket made by "Rough Wear Clothing Co." in a (size 40).  The knits appear to be period replacements in excellent condition, original Talon zipper fully functional, original spec tag and liner, which shows only light use wear.  The 413th patch to chest is likely theater made.   Leather name tag (since removed) as shown. The leather shell is very nice ~ clean and soft / supple.  A solid original ready for display!  $2,000.00

8th Air Force A-2 Jacket 3  Named to a Lt. Pollansbee ~ 833rd Bomb Squadron, 486th Bomb Group.  Another solid original Government Contract jacket in a (size 40).  The cuffs appear to be period replacements, and the waistband is period original in excellent condition, original Talon zipper fully functional, original spec tag (upside down?).  The liner shows typical use wear and some soiling as shown.  The 833rd patch to chest is theater made.  Never had a name plate, but inked name in the liner (as shown).  The leather shell is very soft / supple, with a couple small splits as shown  ~ one on the shoulder and the other in lower inner arm near the cuff as shown).  Un-researched.   $1,950.00
