AMERICAN FLIGHT JACKETS (2nd Edition)

Superb study of the evolution of the American flyers' jackets from First World War to Operation Desert Storm. The book addresses not only the types worn, but focuses primarily on the art and adornment applied. The most colourful and creative period for flight jacket art was World War II, and it is this era that comprises a major portion of this book. Covers US Army Air Force, US Air Force, US Navy and US Marine Corps flight jackets in over one thousand colour and black and white photographs. Personal combat accounts are also included. This revised second edition includes a new section of jackets and period photographs.
