This is a 1968 contract USAF L2-B flight jacket. The L2-B is a flight jacket developed for pilots of fighter planes and other aircraft flying at low altitudes, known as the light zone. The original was the A-2 flight jacket of the WWII era. The L2-B was then adopted after the L-2 and L2-A, and was used from the 1950s until the mid-1970s. The L2-B was used from the 1950s until the mid-1970s, after which the CWU-36P and others followed. Originally developed as a flight jacket for U.S. Air Force pilots, it was also used by Army helicopter pilots as well as Air Force pilots during the Vietnam War, and has played an active role across branches. Unlike the MA-1 of the same model, this jacket is lightweight and is not intended for use at temperatures below 10 degrees Celsius, so we recommend that you wear it inside if you plan to wear it in cold weather. By doing so, you can enjoy it without any problems.
This jacket has an Air Force squadron patch sewn on and a sleeve for a name. There are a few stains but no tears. The ribs are in good condition for use, but are slightly worm-eaten. There is a large hole in the ribbing at the back of the neck. It is not in perfect condition, but it is still in good condition for everyday use. Although the jacket is thin, the liner is made of rayon fabric with a wool fabric on the reverse side, so it is warm. The nylon fabric is also windproof, making this jacket perfect for the transition from winter to fall or fall to winter. It is a used item and cannot be returned. Please understand.
