A wonderful, and really rather rare flight jacket. These are essentially the precursor to the famous MA-1. As flight helmets become more common place, the fur collar of the B-15 became an uncomfortable hindrance to pilots, reducing their ability to turn heads. The permanent solution with eventually be the MA-1, but as a temporary fix many of the B-15D jackets in stock were modified by having their fur collars replaced with knits. To complete the mod, a white label saw added, replacing the earlier stock code with an updated version.
