The L-2 flight jacket, a light zone flight jacket, was the first nylon flight jacket adopted in 1945, the MIL-J-5391. The L-2 evolved into the L-2A in the early 1950s, and the L-2B in the mid-1950s. The MIL-J-7448 L-2B became a masterpiece flight jacket, adopted for a long period from the 1950s to the 1980s, similar to the MA-1.

The early types were equipped with an oxygen tab and had a gray lining. (MIL-J-7448A-C type)

In the mid-1960s, the lining was changed to rescue orange to improve visibility during rescue operations. (D-F type)

In the late 1960s, the epaulets and storm tab, which were distinctive features, were removed, and the external differences from the MA-1 disappeared. (G-J type)

In the late 1970s, the successor model, the CWU-36P, was adopted, but it was used by aircrews and ground personnel until the 1980s.

Our product is modeled after the MIL-J-7448E, which has the most distinctive epaulets and storm tab, with a narrowed armhole for a tight fit.

In addition, the collar, sleeves, and hem ribs are made of 100% wool and are manufactured to the same specifications as the real thing.

Note: Special zipper
The zipper (slider) has a notch-lock. You must press the head to release the lock to lower the zipper.
