As i have been reliably informed , the book "FULL GEAR" has a list of "known" contracts for jackets and flight suits .
I have a full list of contracts awarded by the US goverment for the war effort from 40 -45 . Albeit any contract over $50k in value .
Any contract less than that amount was deemed as not important .

Hi Carl,
Thanks for the updated information. I did come across a list of B-15/B-15A makers on this forum and for the life of me, cannot find it again. My coconut is unclear this morning.

I just received some scans of the FULL GEAR book data sheets on the B15 and B15a . Im sure member Roughwear will have posted them somewhere ?

I don't believe it was Andrew (Roughwear) although he did post a B-10 maker list which is very helpful.

Andrew,

Thanks for posting the additional information.

I have been through these contracts briefly , most of the numbers shown are order numbers not contract numbers .Maybe with a little bit of deduction order numbers could possibly be married up with contracts .
Ill make it my job this weekend to delve deeper into this for you .
