pchepurko Posted January 29, 2013 Share #1 Posted January 29, 2013 Hi Everyone, I have a reproduction B-2 flight jacket and matching crewman cap. The cap is the one with the large visor. I would like to get a pair of gloves to match. What gloves did crewmen wear while in flight on the bombers? Please post a picture. Also does anyone know where I can get a production of the gloves? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5thwingmarty Posted January 29, 2013 Share #4 Posted January 29, 2013 If you ebay, you can get repro B-10s pretty regularly for not that much money. Original A-9's or A-9A's also sell pretty regularly often for not too much money. Are you trying to depict a gunner or an officer? I think the A-9's were pretty standard for the gunners while the B-10's were more standard for the officers, at least in the B-17s where there was at least some heat in the cockpit and nose compartments.
