The A-2 established itself as an iconic jacket during the Second World War with its enduring style & functionality, and our Cooper Original™ 50 Mission™ Goatskin A-2 Leather Jacket carries on that tradition of style & functionality today, more than 90 years after the A-2 was first adopted by the USAAC back in 1931. Like the WWII originals, our iteration is a no-nonsense A-2 that is, at its heart, a true cockpit jacket (while still being equally well-suited for those with both feet planted firmly on the ground) and will serve you well for many years to come.

History of the A-2:
In 1931, the Type A-2 flying jacket was standardized, by the US Army Air Corps, as the successor to the Type A-1 flying jacket. The A-2 has sturdy snaps, reinforced pockets, snap down collar. In addition, it replaced the A-1’s buttoned front with a zipper for added protection against the elements in the open cockpit.
