B-10 FLIGHT JACKET

The B-10 flight jacket is a lightweight jacket designed to replace earlier leather flight jackets.

The United States used a large number of leather flight jackets, such as the A-2 and B-3, in the early days of World War II, but these jackets were heavy, difficult to clean, and became heavy in humid environments.

To address these problems, the US military began to develop new jacket types. The outer shell of the B-10 jacket is usually made of cotton or nylon, and the inner part is filled with wool or other synthetic materials.

This makes this jacket lighter than leather jackets, easier to maintain, and has good warmth performance.

The development concept of the B-10 flight jacket is to provide a more practical and easier to maintain flight jacket.

At the same time, its design also takes into account the comfort and warmth needs of pilots in the air. Its design is simple and practical, without too much decoration, and emphasizes functionality.

The B-10 flight jacket was widely used in World War II, especially in the European battlefield.

Since it was introduced in the middle of the war, it may have appeared in important battles such as the Normandy Landing and the Swabian Operation.
