30-day Money Back GuaranteeAlpha's MA-1 flight jacket with "Blood Chit" sewn on the inside lining was a
type of flag that contained a message in several languages identifying an airman
as a U.S. Aviator if they were shot down, to aid the airman in avoiding capture
and in being returned safely to U.S. Forces. A reward was offered for this
assistance. This is a classic flight jacket made for the military for over 40
years and features nylon flight satin outer shell with reversible orange nylon
lining with the Blood Chit sewn into it, front closure storm flap, knitted
collar, cuffs, and waistband and Alpha signature zippered utility/pencil pocket.

MA-1 HISTORY
Introduced 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.
