Category:
€ 250,00
This is an postwar U.S. Air Force B-15 flight jacket, dating from the late 1940s to early 1950s. While following the general design of the WWII B-15 series, several construction details indicate this jacket is not wartime production:
The label layout and text style differ from known WWII-contract examples.
The Talon zipper is of the postwar 1950s type, not wartime manufacture.
The sleeve pencil pocket is single-stitched, whereas WWII jackets used reinforced double stitching.
The lining and mouton collar correspond to early postwar B-15 variants.
The jacket remains a classic example of early Air Force flight gear, retaining the iconic B-15 silhouette with mouton collar, alpaca lining, knit cuffs, and olive outer shell. It displays honest wear but remains structurally sound and highly collectible as a postwar variant.
A solid piece for collectors of USAF flight clothing and a more affordable alternative to the increasingly rare WWII-contract B-15 jackets.
