WWII Naval Fighter/Bomber Leather Flight Suit
Item Details
An Early World War II Naval Fighter/Bomber leather Pacific theater naval flight suit. Brown leather with fur collar and missing liner. The pilots would tear out the lining due to the terrible heat fighting in the Pacific.
The naval suits from the Pacific theater of fighting are ten times rarer than your normal ETO ( Eastern Theater of Operations ) flight suits. The pilots preferred the leather flight suits, but had to modify them by tearing out the liners. Still, a nice early example of a WWII Naval flight suit from early in the war, after Pearl Harbor.”
Dimensions
21.0" W x 63.0" H x 21.0" D
Unknown Size. Measures 5’ 3" from the neck to the bottom of the leg. Width at the chest is 21" so that would make this approximately a size 42 Flight suit.
