AUTHENTIC DESIGN - This version of the Alpha Industries MA-1 fighter pilot flight jacket has an authentic, time-specific “Blood Chit” sewn into the Emergency Orange lining. The chit was type of flag that contained a specific message in several languages in case the pilot was shot down. This message identified the person as a U.S. Aviator, with instructions asking to aid this person avoid capture as well as to bring them back safely to U.S. forces, and with a reward being offered.
INDIVIDUAL STYLE - Signature “Remove Before Flight” red hang tag on the sleeve utility pencil pocket and the Alpha Industries logo on the zig-zag zipper extension let you show off your style. Knit-rib cuffs, collar, and waistband, two lower flap pockets, two interior welt pockets, and shirred sleeves round out the look.
