Re: WW2 USAAF B-11 type Jacket Found
the only thing that i found wrong with it is::: in the pockets i found 4 buttons which had fallen off the front of the coat. So luckily my fiance is an expert sewer and can put them back on it without any problems! I hope!
Also, i noticed that the pictures ive shown make the jacket seem a lighter green....but it is actually closer to an OD green. (darker)

thanks alot guys. I dont know too much about it unfortunately. Its in great condition, and I finally got my fiance to sew the buttons back on with "OD" colored thread. It's kinda out of place with my whole collection. haha But I love anything to do with ww2, so I cannot discriminate.

Any WWII flight jackets are good to own. They don't seem to bring what leathers do but are just as hard to find. I like it.

A very cool jacket for sure! Even if it is out of place in your collection, almost everything from ww2 is something special, IMO.

Re: WW2 USAAF B-11 type Jacket Found
Does anyone have any idea of what flight pants are supposed to match this? Is it A-10 or A-11 style?? Ive seen some pictures with this jacket being worn with the A-10 pants w/ suspenders....but I dont know too much about this stuff, only what I have researched. Any help would be Great! I think it would be kinda neat to search for a pair of original pants to try and make a manican display with it. If I cant find a pair of flight pants, it will be pretty difficult to display seeing as it is pretty big and heavy. haha
