Original Item. Only One Available. This is an outstanding 8th Air Force Captain’s uniform jacket, in Army Regulation with a contract date of December 18th, 1942, and a size of 36 Short. The Ike jacket is unnamed, but bears outstanding British-made insignia, including the bullion 8th Air Force patch, the bullion Bombardier’s wings, and the ribbon bar.

The jacket bears Captain’s bars on the shoulders, a bullion British-made 8th AF patch on the left shoulder, a bullion AAF patch on the right shoulder, US & AAF collar insignia, and a great set of British-made bullion Bombardier wings over the left breast pocket. There is a two-place British-made ribbon bar on the left breast pocket with the American Defense medal and the European-African-Middle Eastern campaign medal.

The interior shows good service wear. This will make for an outstanding display example of British-made American insignia! The wings alone are very valuable.

A great 8th Air Force Captain’s uniform, ready for display.
