sundance Posted October 28, 2018 Share #4 Posted October 28, 2018 The experts will chime in soon but to me that looks like one nice flyers jacket to me. A Navy flyer perhaps. If you lift up the back of the collar is there anything printed there? Link to post Share on other sites
LucaB Posted October 28, 2018 Author Share #5 Posted October 28, 2018 No stenciled US or USN. The strange thing is the ykk zipper instead of talon , or crown or conmar Link to post Share on other sites
hbtcoveralls Posted October 28, 2018 Share #6 Posted October 28, 2018 Interesting Jacket. Bogen and Tennenbaum did make a run of navy flight jackets during WWII for contract AN-6552, however this isn't one of them This is a later civilian style of jacket dating to the late 40s through the 1960s but it has somehow acquired a WWII B&T neck tag B&T made jackets after the war but went out of business in approx 1951 so they perhaps made this one and used tags left over from the war I saw this one on E-Bay and was curious, again it's not a military pattern but the tag is WWII for a completely different type of jacket Tom Bowers Link to post Share on other sites
