A vintage A-2 military flight jacket personalized with hand-painted fox artwork under the name “Lobo”. Animal mascots were among the favorite subjects of aviation nose art, and this jacket carries that tradition in paint on leather.
The Piece
The A-2 was the leather flight jacket of the U.S. Army Air Forces, and crews made it their own with painted mascots, pin-ups and squadron emblems. This vintage example carries hand-painted artwork of a fox under the name “Lobo”, a mascot image in the spirit of aircraft nose art.
