The A-2 Summer Flying Jacket, adopted as standard clothing by the United States Army Air Corps on May 9, 1931 and worn throughout World War II, was used by the crew at the time. It was treated as a status symbol, not just as a uniform.  The A-2 jacket uses horse leather, a light brown lining, a leather collar, brown sleeves and hem knit, and a very simple design with a zipper front opening and is manufactured by many contractors (suppliers). The basic specifications were simple, but the design differed depending on the contractor (supplier) and availabilities during that time. The A-2 Summer Flying Jacket, used by the U.S. Army Air Corps from 1931 through World War II, is crafted from durable horsehide with a simple zipper front and leather collar.
