Scarce original leather Type A-2 bombers jacket from a former member of the 96th Bomb Squadron, 2nd Bomb Group. Leather jacket bears a manufacturer’s label sewn inside of collar and states “Type A-2 Drawing No. 30-1415…Rough Wear Clothing Co., Middletown, P.A.” Left breast bears the classic and intimidating squadron emblem of a triangle outlined in white, with a profile of a devil thumbing his nose at the ground, a white bomb in his left hand. Jacket features two flap pockets on front and knitted cuffs and waistband. In very good condition, with expected wear and light crazing to leather, some scattered light discoloration, light crazing and some scattered light color loss to insignia, and a few pulls and small holes to cuffs. Accompanied by an original pair of vintage aviators glasses in their original leather case.
The 96th Bomb Squadron was formed in World War I and based out of Kelly Field. The squadron continued to see service in World War II, flying 412 combat missions in the European and Mediterranean theaters, earning two Distinguished Unit citations. A great item boasting one of the most recognizable and prized combat insignias.
