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.
Paul Doherty –
I have been meaning to write a review on this jacket since I purchased and received it, well over a year ago. As fall approaches in Massachusetts, I have it at the ready for cooler days and nights. In my opinion, Sarge really hit it out of the park with this one! It is the perfect transition jacket for spring in New England, as well. I would imagine it could be year-round wearable in less extreme environmental change areas. Leather accents and lining add to its appeal. How about more color choices, Sarge?
US Wings –
Thank you, we are glad you like the jacket.
