B-10 ROUGH WEAR CLOTHING CO.
"529th BOMB. SQ. "

• This Type B-10 with patch and hand-paint is reproduced by "Buzz Rickson's", based on vintage. The Type B-10 is a fabric flight jacket adopted by the U.S. Army Air Forces in July 1943 as a replacement for leather flight jackets. It was designed for use in moderate temperatures ranging from +10｡C to -10｡C. During World War II, the U.S. military faced a severe leather shortage and reevaluated the sewing aspect and productivity, leading to the development of a flight jacket using mass-producible cotton twill fabric. The jacket featured an alpaca mohair wool pile lining, which was less bulky and lightweight compared to sheepskin while providing excellent insulation. In terms of appearance, the U.S. Army and U.S. Navy jointly developed the "AN" series, including AN6552 and AN-J-3A, for general-purpose use. However, the U.S. Army Air Forces did not fully adopt these models, and instead, they incorporated the design into the new cloth flight jacket, the B-10. The hand-painted design on the back is the insignia of the 380th Bombardment Squadron Battalion, also known as the “Flying Circus” or “King of the Heavies”. On the front, the 529th Bombardment Squadron insignia is hand-painted on a leather patch.
