The United States Army Air Forces standardised the Jacket, Enlisted Men's, Flight, Type B-14 in March 1944. It was designed as a specialised short wool coat for enlisted flight crews, including gunners and radio operators. This design was unique to the AAF, serving as a direct precursor to the famous M1944 Eisenhower jacket.
This reproduction is made from heavy Olive Drab Shade 54 wool. The interior is fully lined with a sateen fabric. It features a notched lapel collar, a neat button-front closure, and shoulder epaulettes. The waist is adjustable and is secured by tabs, using two buttons to help find the perfect fit.
Unlike the standard M1944 jacket, this model retains midriff slash pockets and two concealed breast pockets with rectangular flaps. This makes it highly functional for reenactors and collectors who need easy-access storage. The smart, short-waisted cut provides excellent comfort when sitting or wearing heavy flight gear.
Add this rare AAF design to your WW2 aviation impression today.
Please note: the slash pockets, like with all well-tailored garments, are stitched up. This is easily remedied by snipping the top thread and lightly pulling the pocket apart.
