Alpha Industries Youth MA-1Flight JacketOur Kids MA-1 jacket leads in warmth and durability. This kids flight jacket is based on MA-1 men's classic, featuring the same authentic Alpha Signature utility/pencil pocket, 100% nylon outer shell/polyester interlining. The Kids MA-1 has four additional pockets—both inside and outside—plus a knit collar, cuffs and waistband for warmth. 
 Product HistoryIntroduced by the mid-1950s, the MA-1 became the flight jacket of U.S. Air Force and Navy pilots and ground crew. Designed for use in temperatures of 14-50 degrees F, the MA-1 had a 100% wool knit collar, waistband and cuffs. The MA-1 discarded the mouton fur collar of its predecessor, the B-15, because it interfered with the parachute harness worn by aviators. Other features of the jacket included a tab that the oxygen mask was clipped to, tabs to hold the headset wires in place and the original U.S. Air Force decal. These features were eventually removed from the flight jacket as it was adopted by other branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and equipment for pilots changed. |
