Help with Chinese/Korean Flight Jacket?

[Amunoz]

Hello, I found this jacket at my local thrift store and wanted to see if anyone here knew anything about it, would love to learn more about its origin/date or anything on it really. It has Asian lettering on the inside of it but it’s very faded. Thanks!

I bet, it has plastic zip on it?

 

[Amunoz]

No, it is metal.

If , there is an inner pocket , below those ‘Asian letters but faded’ , then it is a Chinese winter flying jacket. Genuine issued one.

Yes until the 70ies, but not anymore, now they have similar to CWU 36/P or CWU 46/P, all made in ( Sounth ) Korea.
At a certain stage they also used USAF A-2’s from Saddlery in the end of 1980s.

Did not know they made PIGSKIN flight jackets.

if , it’s pigskin, then it’s not genuine issued jacket.
