I got this jacket in an estate lot of an Army Vietnam helo pilot. The lot had several flight suits, his helmet, jungle jackets, utility shirts and a couple of flight jackets including this one. It has shoulder straps like an officer dress shirt but no tags and no internal pockets otherwise it looks like a standard MA-1. Any help appreciated.

An L-2B, tag should be in left pocket....looks like it washedand dried, as the orange lining is wrinkle, and the nylon shell is pulled up around cuffs and zipper areas...early to mid sixties as it has the snapped tab at base of zip and the epaulettes, and orange liner...there are guys who can tell you more about its time line and who made it from features in your photos

 

A nice L-2B with hsitory
