AVIREX Type A-2 Brown Leather Flight Jacket, Glenn Miller Band Back Paint & Patches, Size S

A brown leather type A-2 flight jacket by AVIREX, dressed in patches and a painted back devoted to Glenn Miller's band. Its theme joins two strands of wartime memory, the air group and the USO tour, on the classic Army Air Forces silhouette.

The Piece

This vintage type A-2 in brown leather by AVIREX carries a set of patches on the body and a painted back dedicated to Glenn Miller's band, with a theme that references a Carrier Air Group and a USO tour.

The A-2 is the leather flight jacket of the U.S. Army Air Forces, and Glenn Miller's wartime band and the USO tours that entertained service members became lasting emblems of morale during the Second World War. Here that memory is carried on the back of a classic flight-jacket form.
