Description: Vintage WW2 Aero B3 Bomber Jacket (Beacon, New York) Step back in time with this authentic WWII-era Aero B3 Bomber Jacket, crafted by Beacon in New York, a prominent supplier of military flight jackets during the Second World War. Designed for warmth and durability, this jacket is an iconic piece of aviation history, made specifically for U.S. Army Air Force bomber crews flying in cold, high-altitude conditions. The B3 jacket, introduced in the early 1940s, was integral to bomber missions, providing pilots and airmen with protection against freezing temperatures in unpressurized aircraft. Aero Leather Clothing Co. was one of the notable manufacturers producing these jackets, known for their high-quality shearling construction. This vintage B3 jacket features a rugged yet supple leather exterior, with natural wear that reflects its history and enhances its vintage appeal. While the leather shows signs of aging, it remains intact with no rips or holes. Notable areas of wear include a patch on the back and one on the right wrist, as seen in the photos, adding to its authenticity and charm. The original zipper remains functional, a rare find in jackets of this age, though one of the neck straps is missing, a common issue with vintage flight jackets. The shearling lining, designed to insulate against extreme cold, is in good condition overall, with signs of wear around the wrist and waist areas, as expected in a piece of this vintage.
