Vintage Civilian B-15 Flight Jacket Size L
The B-15 jacket was introduced in the early 1940’s as a lightweight cotton jacket that was easier to produce and wear, compared to the heavy leather bomber jackets. The B-15 was changed to a nylon version in 1945, but the original cotton jacket remained a favorite among many soldiers and airmen, as the similar 'tanker jacket'.
