The MA-1 covered in the picture is from a private issue made by Concord Industries Inc. around late '70s.
They had Scovill or Ideal zippers and lightweight polyester interlining, definitely not a military contract.

Not what i had hoped to hear but thanks for the info.

Would this type of jacket be used by the USAF but i guess the answer would be no as why would you bother buying a jacket yourself?

Many Thanks
