Description
This is an original WWII U.S. Army Air Force Type A-4 flying suit from the 42-16473-P contract. The A-4 was actually a pre-war design, standardized in 1930, and remained the most prevalent USAAF flying suit until early-1943 when it was replaced by the AN-6550 and AN-S-31. This example is constructed of olive drab gabardine wool material. It is a size 40 but please refer to the Measurements section for more details.
