B-15A
"REED PRODUCTS, INC."
- About six months after the B-15 was adopted, new improvements were made to the B-15. This was the B-15A, which was adopted on November 4, 1944. The B-15A was a more functional version of the B-15, with the addition of triangular leather tabs on both chests to clip the hoses of the "demand" oxygen masks, the most distinguishing feature of the B-15A. Tabs were also added on both sides of the jacket to prevent the communication wires coming out of the headphones on the flight cap from interfering with the pilot's control of the aircraft. In addition, the "pencil pocket" on the left sleeve had also been modified to put two pencils instead of one. B-15A was supplied at the end of the war, and some of the B-15A continued to be used even after the introduction of the newer B-15B model and were also worn by the Army during the Korean War.
The original of this B-15A was manufactured by Reed Products at the time and featured bar tacks placed in the triangular horse clip tabs and diagonal bar tacks in the wire tabs, specifications not seen on other contractors. With such delicate and reliable skills, Reed Products boasted of its great reliability and production capabilities, and was the contractor for the B-9, B-15, B-15A, B-15B, L-2, N-2, and N-3, supporting the golden age of flight jackets. - Material: Water Resistant Cloth 80/3 Ply Combed Cotton Twill (100％ Cotton)
