1917-1945年美国陆军飞行员服装

第一次世界大战开始时，成千上万的陆军和海军飞行员需要专门的服装，而这些服装无法从货架上买到。二战期间，飞行员和机组人员在极端条件下执行了无数任务，从北极到南太平洋。在这两次战争中，为许多不同类型飞机上的人员提供合适的服装证明是一项艰巨的任务。
这本书记录了1917年至1945年间美国飞行员在世界各地所穿飞行服装和配件的开发、测试、制造、采购和使用。探索的服装包括各种类型的飞行服——包括厚重的冬季剪羊毛服和电热服——飞行夹克、漂浮装置、头盔、手提袋和鞋子。
本研究的附录包括当代小册子，详细介绍了飞行服的保养和维护，对军事史上一个很少被研究的方面进行了彻底的探索。
United States Army Aviators’ Clothing, 1917-1945
The beginning of World War I saw thousands of army and navy aviators who needed specialized clothing that could not be purchased off-the-shelf. During World War II pilots and crews flew countless missions in extreme conditions, from the Arctic to the South Pacific. Through both wars, providing suitable clothing to personnel aboard many different types of aircraft proved a monumental task.
This book documents the development, testing, manufacture, procurement and utilization of flying apparel and accessories worn by American airmen around the world between 1917 and 1945. Among the garments explored are various types of flight suits–including heavy winter shearling suits and electrically heated suits–flight jackets, flotation gear, headgear, handwear and footwear.
With appendices that include contemporary brochures detailing the care and maintenance of flight clothing, this study provides a thorough exploration of a rarely examined aspect of military history.
