WW2 US Navy M-421A Summer Flight Jacket. Size 40
WW2 US Navy M-421A Summer Flight Jacket. Size 40
Here we have a real treasure. This is the very first iteration of the incredible US Navy “Summer” or lightweight cotton windproof flight jackets. Primarily used in the hot and humid Pacific theater of WW2, the jackets went on to achieve iconic status and were generally worn to shreds. It is unbelievably difficult to get one in this gorgeous condition.
This jacket represents the true pinnacle of style and class when it comes to vintage Military design. It simply does not get much better than this.
Tag and TALON zipper in pristine condition, this example even has the wonderful USN stamp on the inside pocket.
We have two of these listed. One size 40, and the other is a size 38 (listed separately)
