WWII US Navy AL-1 Flight Suit - When the United States entered World War Two much of the military was unprepared for combat. The unforms and equipment employed was very antiquated, most of it dated back to World War one. Advancements in the field of aviation require that the US Army Air Force develop a new line of uniforms known as flight suits. The one featured here is designed for winter wear. It was manufactured of a cotton and pyle material and they were green in color.



The design of the AL-1 Navy flight suit consisted on a very heavy duty coverall. The exterior was made of waterproof material. The inside was lines with a thick coat of pyle. A silver zipper closes the front section. An additional, smaller zipper, is placed in each leg.

Two pockets are found in the breast area. They are secured shut by using a flap with a green color metal snap.

The American flight suits may have been adorned with a variety of patches. In addition, some insignia may have been added. The patches were normally placed in the left and right arms. In some occassions they may be located in the breast area.
