Original and extremely rare WW2 US Marine Corps / US Navy Reserve summer flight jacket named to a USMC Pilot Killed in action in the Korean War.

Some grime from use and storage, but I have not cleaned it. Size marked 40. Zipper is Talon and is mint with original leather pull. A stunning, museum grade piece.
