This MA-1 Flyers Man Bomber Jacket is a vintage military piece from Late 1960s to early 1970s, made by Alpha Industries Inc. It is a size Medium, but it looks small to me. The jacket features a classic Bomber design with ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband, and a reversible orange lining. This jacket is perfect for collectors of militaria, especially those interested in the Vietnam conflict (1961-75). This jacket was made reversible so that military personnel could use the orange jacket as high visibility protection on decks of military ships and carriers as aircraft were taking off and landing.
