A very good new G-1 Leather Navy Flight Jacket is
available from Airborne Leathers via inet mail order
.
The quality is good and the price is very reasonable
The G-1 is quite heavy. I prefer and bought the A-2
.
.
PS: I understand that there may be one available from
an individual in MA complete with CosDiv13 patch. Only
slightly used
.
I found the Airborne Leather webpage and the A2 jacket look nice - espacially for $98! I emailed the customer service address on the web page to ask a question about sizing and my email bounced. There is no phone number listed on the web page. Has anyone bought from them and if so, any chance you have a phone number?
I too have a Navy flight jacket, handed down by my father. He first wore it in 1955 when he commanded VF-52 in the Korean War. It now has Swift patches but hangs in the closet, the image tarnished by past events.
