Incredibly there were shells found in the interior snap pocket that could be from an area where this jacket travelled to. Since 1938 the G-1 flight jacket has been regulation issue gear to pilots of the United States Navy flight crews during the most heroic air battles in history. Before 1965, the G-1 was always made from goatskin. The collar is mouton lamb's wool.
