Fantastic video! I'm a HUGE fan of flight jackets of all kinds and have been collecting different ones for years. I love how much history your video covers in a short amount of time! Flight jackets are SO ubiquitous nowadays, yet few people who wear them understand their history- hopefully more people see your video and grow to appreciate the fascinating legacy of these jackets!
. Pity The Netherlands was not included in this video, because the Gabber-movement(huge Dutch-subculture) made the Bomber-jacket mainstream in The Netherlands. I thought Gabbers were included too, because the video was showing Nike Air Max (@0:32). But it didn't happen. Maybe in her next video. I would love that. :)

@@shandipace I love to see a video about [Nike Air Max], and about [Australian]. Australian is an Italian brand: tennissuits (jackets and pants). They come in many many different prints! I would love it if you mention the Gabber-movement in this two videos. Because the sportwear-suit Australian, Bombers, Nike Air Max were their unisex. Only guys shaved their heads bald, and girls did not (or only partly). Like to know more about the Gabber-movement? There are many videos on RU-vid you can watch: Docu's, huge parties, music (vinyl, CDs, life-sets, and DJs mixing). Anyway, it was fun to watch this video. Also thanks for the info! :)
Interesting video. I would suggest however, some corrections: The A-2 jacket did not have shearling (or fur) added. It is a summer weight jacket. The primary jackets during WW2 that were better insulated were the B-3, the ANJ-4, (both shearling), and starting in 1943-44, the B-10 and B-15. Both of these were a cotton shell with alpaca wool as the insulation. Occaisionaly, one could also see in more limited quantities piolets wearing the shearling jackets issued to aircraft mechanics. And that is just in the Air Corps. The Navy had their own flight jackets, primarily the G-1 with a motion collar.
@Stangmaster 2 It is entirely possible an original A-2 was modified, especially after they became limited standard in 1943 with the introduction of the B-10 and B-15 jackets, both of which had mouton collars. My point is the 'as issued' A-2 jackets did not have in the original construction a mouton, or fur, collar.

@@shandipace I will have to check them out. I was trying to find a video on the history of painting bombs and rising sun flags on ww2 bomber jackets. Maybe that would be something you would be interested in doing another video on.
. The Gabber-movement, invented in The Netherlands(🇳🇱) in 1992, made the Bomber-jacket mainstream in the Netherlands. Gabbers (in the 90s) may looked (a little) like skinheads(🇬🇧) because skinhead guys were wearing (just as Gabber guys) Bomber-jackets and shaved their heads bald. Only difference was,.. Gabbers were wearing no army-boots, but wearing Nike Air Max (see shoes@0:32). And Gabbers were wearing Levi's 501 jeans or Australian* tracksuit bottom (many many kinds of prints). And Gabbers were wearing Australian* training-jackets (many many kinds of prints). And Gabbers were wearing baseball caps (not always). And Gabbers were wearing hoodies (not always). And skinheads listened to Ska, while Gabbers listened to [Gabber/Hardcore(-House)], and Gabbers were non-politics. And Gabbers went to huge Gabber/Hardcore-parties, and Gabbers had their own unique dance, while skinheads went to concerts and pogo(dance). And Skinheads did like to fight, while Gabbers they did fight only to restore the peace. Gabber and Skinhead were two totally different cultures (as you may noticed now). If you like to know more about Gabbers, there are many videos on RU-vid about this subculture. Docu's, party-videos, and vinyl and CDs to listen. *Ps. [Australian] is a tennis sportwear-brand, made in Italy. Bytheway,.. the word [Gabber] is a Dutch/Jewish word, and it means: Friend.
I did, but that's because there are so many! I obviously couldn't go into detail about every single bomber jacket ever created... Instead, I focused on ones I thought were innovative and popular for their time!
