Question about B-1 and B-2 jackets

[Falcon_52]

Does anyone happen to know what the drawing number is for the B-1 jacket? In addition, does anyone know what the contract number (or order number) is for the Switlik Parachute contract of B-2 jacket?

Thanks in advance,

Noel

Noel,
If no-one has done it before tomorrow night, I'll look in 'Full Gear' and post a photo of the page. (I'm out tonight).

I suspect Deeb will beat em to it though !

East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet. Except here on VLJ :ugeek:

Does anyone happen to know what the drawing number is for the B-1 jacket?

Drawing No. 31-2410, the B-2 is 31-2412.

Full Gear records W535 AC 4552, and W535 AC 5515, as B-1 contracts. The second order continues as the B-2.

Now we're intrigued .... have you found something with a partial label?

Thanks for the information, David. Unfortunately, I haven't found a vintage jacket - I'm just trying to fill in a few missing pieces of information on my favorite winter flight jackets.

I really need to order Full Gear from Aota's website. I keep watching to see if a second-hand copy ever comes up for sale; very few and far between though.

I appreciate the information.
