AMERICAN WWII U.S.ARMY AIR FORCE A2 LEATHER FLYING JACKET.

A very nice condition Military Air Transport Command brown leather A2 flying jacket with original manufacturer’s label for the Cooper Sportswear Manufacturing Company, Newark New Jersey, size label ‘38’ intact. Leather rank patches for the rank of Major to each epaulette. To the upper right breast the name ‘J.M.Smolev’ below the name tag a very nicely machine embroidered Military Air Transport Command circular patch. The leather overall good, no leather rot. Some light dryness, which if desired could be re-coloured with the use of leather food, but it has a good untouched feel overall. The wool elasticated bottom band and cuff bases are all complete with plenty of elasticity left in the wool, slight nicks in wool , with its original Conmar nickel zip and correct zip runner. The inner lining is all complete and not shredded. Recently purchased from probably the best combat uniform and equipment collection in the United Kingdom comprising Army tropical, Waffen SS, Luftwaffe paratrooper and many other items of the same genre. The collection was begun by the then 15 year old boy who used to visit our own shop in London in the very early 1980’s and has built this collection up over 40 years culminating in the writing of excellent books on these subjects.
