From the bitter temperatures of the Arctic to the sweltering
jungles of the South Pacific, Army Air Forces personnel flew
countless missions in extreme conditions throughout World War II.
Providing suitable clothing to various crewmen aboard many
different types of aircraft proved a monumental task. This volume
documents the development, testing, manufacture, procurement, and
utilization of flying clothing and accessories worn by American
airmen during their many hard-fought campaigns around the world
between 1941 and 1945. Among the garments explored are various
types of flight suits - including heavy winter shearling suits and
electrically heated suits - flight jackets, flotation garments,
headgear, handwear, footwear, and even underwear. With appendices
that include contemporary military brochures detailing the care and
maintenance of flight clothing and tips on the preservation of
vintage flight apparel and accessories, this study provides a
thorough exploration of a rarely examined aspect of the military
during World War II.
