BUZZ RICKSON'S - Type N-3B - ALBERT TURNER & CO., INC. - BR14919

Type N-3B “ALBERT TURNER & CO., INC.”

• This is the reproduction of the flight jacket, N-3B. The type N-3B was a heavy-zone jacket adopted by the US Air Force in 1953 and was intended for temperatures ranging from -10°C to - 30°C. This jacket inheritated the mouton B-7, the cotton B-9, and the B-11 jackets adopted during World War II, and the nylon N-3 was adopted in 1949. The N-3B, adopted from 1953 onward, was an improved version of the N-3A that was introduced in 1951. The improvements included a change in body color from air force blue to sage green, as well as an update to the nylon material structure itself. Also, the ribs on the cuffs were placed on the inside of the cuffs to better block the outside air, and the adjuster cords on the outside of the waist were moved to the inside. The front wind flap was shortened so that wearer in cockpit can move more easily. The hood lining had previously been made of mouton, but weight and cost considerations were reassessed, and from the N-3B onward it was made of acrylic. Albert Turner & Co., Inc. had three-time N-3B contracts with the military, and the order number AF-33-(602)8145 manufactured in 1957 was the second model.
