The U.S. Army Air force was a branch within
the Army that was responsible for Aerial defenses and assets during WWII.
Since they were part of the Army their regular service and field uniforms
were the same as those worn by Army enlisted and officer personnel in any
other branch of the Army. However, the Army did authorize the use of
specialized uniforms and equipment required for air crewman while flying.
Air crews and pilots wore special flying suits and boots (Not available from
us) and leather flying jackets (shown below) that protected them from grease
and grime, as well as the colder temperatures at high altitudes. Some
pilots and crews not actively serving in combat situations flew their
aircraft wearing basic uniform items without much of the very technical
flying equipment.
This page is an index of the various components of the
Officer's Field Uniform including flight jackets made by Cockpit USA, which

replica flight jackets. We pride ourselves in offering garments made
