Standardized in 1943 and issued for combat use in early 1944, the B-10 marked an important transition in USAAF flight clothing.
Developed as an alternative to leather A-2 and heavier sheepskin flight garments, the B-10 combined a high-density fabric shell with a full alpaca-wool blend pile lining. It was lighter, less bulky, and offered greater freedom of movement inside cold, unheated aircraft.
The B-10 saw extensive use in the European Theater during 1944 before being replaced by the improved B-15 series. Its short service life makes it one of the most distinctive USAAF flight jacket designs of WWII.

IMPORTANT LINING NOTE
The thick alpaca-wool blend lining uses an early-style knitted pile construction. Some loose fibers are normal when the jacket is new.
We recommend avoiding dark-colored inner layers during initial wear. Shedding will gradually decrease as the pile settles and naturally curls with use.
This is a modern reproduction of the WWII USAAF Type B-10, not an original WWII garment.
Please check the size chart and garment measurements carefully before ordering.
