US Wings® Black Leather Flight Jacket Modern A-2

Description

US Wings is proud to offer the Black Leather Flight Jacket Modern A-2! It is made from black goatskin leather. Manufactured to military quality standards and specifications. Our jacket is equal in every way to the USAF-issue A-2, but with one important distinction: more pockets! With the change in time, we have also made changes to the A-2 jacket. We’ve added side-entry hand warmer pockets and one inside pocket to our popular goatskin bomber A-2 flight jacket. The side-entry pockets are separate from the patch pockets, which make them roomier and more accessible. The additional pockets make it far more practical.

The Modern A-2:

The A-2 leather flight jacket is an American military flight jacket. Originally invented and developed for the World War II U.S. Army Air Forces pilots. After a brief period of not issuing jackets to pilots, the modern A-2 was developed and issued. It was said that the popular film, “Top Gun” may have influenced the new A-2. The first Air Force A-2 contract was awarded to Avirex, but all subsequent contracts from 1988 to 1998 were awarded to Neil Cooper USA, now U.S. Wings of Ohio. The modern design differs from the original design in several ways. With a looser fit, made from goatskin in seal brown, side entry pockets, and an inside wallet pockets.
