The original flight jacket (MA-1) was designed by the United States Air Force (USAF) for all year multi-situational use. Angled zipped chest pockets, for ease of access whilst sat in a cockpit. Usually seen with orange Hi Vis lining for signalling after ejection or calling in airstrikes.

The L-2B jacket superseded the L-2A, circa. 1957 as pilots required improved concealment when downed. Developed to replace the versions dawning a blue colour, L-2Bs were cut for a generous fit and was intended for wear in temperatures between 42 and 65 Fahrenheit, thus suited for warmer climates with a long service life
