Listed is an original vintage USAF (United States Air Force) Standard Issue Field Jacket, 9 oz cotton sateen, Type MIL-J-4883A, in a size Small (Short), Stock no.

As photos suggest, the jacket is in a very good wearable condition given its age, with minor wear and faint yellowing/discolouring to the area around the cuffs and base of jacket.

The John Ownbey Companys birth is acompelling history of the dawn of military contract manufacturing in the UnitedStates. It all starts with the Godfather of military manufacturing in the1940s and 50s, Herman Breezy Wynn. Herman Wynn was educated at the Universityof Tennessee, where he was a star fullback for the Volunteers. Aftergraduation, he opened an athletic equipment company, The Southern AthleticCompany. They were primarily involved in developing and manufacturing a new, lighter type of sports apparel. He eventually grew his athletics company into amanufacturing giant. One of his many manufacturing plants was located inKnoxville, TN. When World War II began, Wynn turned hisboundless energy and jacket making skills to manufacturing for the war effort. He produced duffle bags, jackets, and winter coats etc. When the war was overhe scaled back manufacturing for the army and went back primarily to producingcommercial apparel. Due to Wynns operational size, he had plenty ofmanufacturing room to lease out to other apparel companies. This is how theWynn Confederation was created. Other Wynn Confederation companies included most ofthe government manufacturers, including Alpha Industries, Wynn Industries, Greenbrier, Dobbs etc. The WynnConfederation was solely responsible in helping many of the dominating militarymanufacturers get their start, back in the day. To this day, the John Ownbey Company Inc is an existing member company of the Wynn Confederation, who represent a group of military subcontractors who collectively produced for the U. S Government on military clothing contracts. Signature on deliver required. Express post is available (additional charges apply).

Citizen provides an online manual for this this C300 model. A gift for the aviation enthusiast who has everything. Case is from a similar Citizen style watch. Case and box are like new. THE WORLD FAMOUS THUNDERBIRDS. The Thunderbirds Squadron is a named USAF squadron, meaning it does not carry a numerical designation. Officers serve a two-year assignment with the squadron, while enlisted personnel serve three to four years. As the squadron performs no more than 88 air demonstrations each year, replacements must be trained for about half of the team each year, in order to provide a constant mix of experience. In addition to their air demonstration responsibilities, the Thunderbirds are part of the USAF combat force and if required, can be rapidly integrated into an operational fighter unit. [3][4] Since 15 February 1974 the Thunderbirds have been a component of the 57th Wing at Nellis AFB. Since 1953, they have flown in front of more than 300 million people. The Thunderbirds performing the crossover break. The Thunderbirds perform aerial demonstrations in the F-16C Fighting Falcon, and they also fly two F-16D twin-seat trainers. The F-16 has been the demonstration aircraft for the Thunderbirds since the 1983 season. In January 1982, four members of the squadron were killed in what became known as the “Diamond Crash” of T-38 Talon aircraft which the squadron had flown since 1974. [6] Partially as a result of that accident, the squadron switched to the F-16A, and sat out the 1982 airshow season and spent that year retraining and transitioning over to the new aircraft to ready themselves for the 1983 season. The F-16, however, had been considered for transition prior to the accident. Beginning in June 1982, the F-16 Thunderbirds were led by Major Jim Latham. The team continues to fly the F-16, having switched from the F-16A to the F-16C in 1992. [3] Only a few minor modifications differentiate a Thunderbird from an operational F-16C. These include the replacement of the 20 mm cannon and ammunition drum with a smoke-generating system, including its plumbing and control switches, the removal of the jet fuel starter exhaust door, and the application of the Thunderbirds’ glossy red, white, and blue polyurethane paint scheme. All the modification work is performed at the maintenance depot at Hill AFB near Ogden, Utah.
