AAF F-3 Jacket Booklet

[Jaydee]

Cool original issue booklet. Shows the entire late WWII wardrobe including the B-10 Jacket on page 3. Plus those goofy Government cartoons.

Nice find, thanks for shearing!

There are actually one of those F-3 jackets on the Bay at the moment, I had never heard about those before.

I'm selling one on ebay right now. I ran across that website while researching the jacket. I had heard about the jackets before, but I didn't realize they were made to be worn under the B-10 Jacket. You know a funny thing, I'm a NAVY Vet and can tell you that even nowadays the safety manuals still have those kooky cartoons in them.

Great stuff, the jargon sounds entirely concocted as well aimed at appealing to the level of the Crew.

I'd like to find one of those twill buttoned jackets with the white sheepskin collar they wore over electric suits. I think they were brown and had two breast pockets. Never seen one in real life or ebay- only in period photos. Anyone know what they're called?

Anyone know what they're called?

No, but if you can find a picture ......

They're the F-2 heated jackets, the ones with the white shearling collar are for enlisted men...I've asked on the forum before if anyone had one for sale as they look great jackets, yet again the Hell's Angels to the rescue!....
