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.
Dave Baxter –
Hello U.S. Wings, received my 50 Mission™ WWII Sheepskin A-2 Jacket today. Absolutely wonderful quality and such fine leather. My wife is a seamstress who quote “They know how to stitch leather, best I have seen in years”. It fits perfect with using your help suggesting one size up. Very happy with the purchase. Now I can go fly with a great jacket to keep me warm on those cold mornings.
US Wings –
We are glad you like your jacket and it should be great for the cold mornings flying
