Description
At the end of World War II, the Navy also needed to update a flight jacket to replace the heavy fur jacket, and the AL-1 came into being.
The AL-1 (55J13) suitable for cold areas is a medium-length jacket with a heavy fleece lining, nylon lining on two sleeves, diagonal hand warmer pockets on both sides of the clothes, and special wool threads to prevent wind from entering, providing first-class warmth retention. In addition to the hand warmer pocket, there are two storage pockets on the hem. There is also a hidden pocket on each side of the zipper, a zipper pocket and a button pocket. The design is very convenient, and even the lanyard under the general collar is nailed to the clothes. The outside of the back of the collar can't be more intimate. The AL-1 was only produced between 1947 and 1952, and the number was scarce, mainly equipped with Navy and Marine Corps pilots. There is a slight difference between the early and late versions. The most obvious is that the early cuffs had a zipper for tightening the cuffs, and the latter was canceled.
