"In 1931, the first military-supplied Willis & Geiger flight suit was the US Army Air Corps A-2 type leather summer open cockpit flight jacket.
Due to its excellent function and design, it received the most support from aviators among the flight suits that had been provided so far.
The A-2 jacket is made of dark brown leather, with a continuous back and sleeves. The cuffs and waistband are unidirectional ridged knits of brown wool.
Government-supplied brass button-down collar snaps that prevent the wind from fluttering the collar convey the atmosphere of the time."
Excellent pre-owned condition, with the exception of several holes on the ribbed cuffs and waistband. Original Scovill zipper works perfectly.
