One of the lightweight summer flying jackets, made in the late 1950s. Similar to the WW2 versions but with small improvements to make them more suited requirements. These jackets were designed to complement the summer flying suits, and are essentially the same design but cutdown. Remarkably light cotton makes them perfect for summer use, especially in the warm climates of the south.
Condition
Mint condition, used but excellent. The only flaw I can see is one missing tooth on the zipper and it doesn't affect zipping at all.
