Original U.S. WWII Pilot G-1 Leather Flying Jacket

Regular price $395.00

Item Description

Original Item: Only One Available. The "G-1" military flight jacket is the commonly accepted name for the fur-lined-collar World War II-era leather flight jacket of the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. A similar jacket used by the United States Army Air Corps/United States Army Air Forces was usually called the A-2 jacket.

The G-1 remains a current uniform-issue item in naval aviation for officer and enlisted aviation personnel on flying status in the U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and U.S. Coast Guard and was featured as the leather flight jacket worn by Tom Cruise in the film Top Gun.

The jacket is well worn and without extensive damage. This was definitely service worn and not left behind for missions. The leather is somewhat stiff, but not brittle, the knit cuffs and waist are in good condition but does have minor holes and moth nips present. There is no data label present.

This is a wonderful G-1 Leather Flight Jacket attributed to a US Marine Pilot! Comes more than ready for research and display!
