• Vintage 30's WWII USAAF Type D-1 Sheepskin Flight Jacket and CapAntique Vintage 30's WWII USAAF Type D-1 Leather Sheepskin Flight Bomber Jacket US Army Aviation Military War Roots Revived

    Vintage 30’s WWII USAAF Type D-1 Sheepskin Flight Jacket and Cap

    Vintage 1937′ USAAF issued type D-1 Cold Weather Sheepskin Jacket and matching flight cap

    The D-1 jacket was issued by the USAAF to their mechanics and other ground personnel but was widely worn by pilots and other aircrews.
    Because of the bitter cold winter conditions and freezing temperatures of unheated cockpits at altitudes of up to 7 km (20.000 feet) these sheepskin jackets were heavy duty pieces of outerwear and designed to withstand these harsh conditions!

    The jacket and cap were left behind by an USAAF pilot after he was given shelter in a Dutch farmhouse during the war.
    The pilot used to belong to one of crews of six B-17 bombers that crashed in the Alblasserwaard after being shot down by German anti-aircraft guns.

    These pieces would make rare and great additions to any USAAF collection!

    The tag under the collar reades: Type D-1, PT.NO. .., MFG.S.A.A.D., SMALL
    As indicated by the markings MFG. SAAD, this jacket was manufactured by San Antonio Area Depot.

    By attaching an extra layer to the bottom of the jacket it was custom made longer than a regular one.
    During the job the original Talon zipper must have been replaced by the longer RIES zipper.

    After all those years the jacket and cap both remain in used condition.
    The sheepskin outer layer on both pieces shows a slight distressed patina due to use and time but no holes or rips!
    The zipper on the jacket got oxidized and isn’t in working order.

    Chest (underarm to underarm): 22.1″ (56 cm)
    shoulder width: 18.1″ (46 cm)
