WW2 US USAAF Type A-10 Lined Flying Trousers Pants Size 38

The WW2 US USAAF Type A-10 Lined Flying Trousers, Size 38, represent standard-issue cold weather gear for United States Army Air Forces personnel during World War II. Developed to meet the demands of high-altitude and cold climate flights, the A-10 trousers are constructed from olive drab cotton twill and feature a thick alpaca wool lining for insulation. The design includes full-length side zippers for easy donning over boots, adjustable suspenders, and multiple pockets tailored for aircrew use. Reinforced stitching and durable hardware address the rigors of military operations. Frequently worn in conjunction with the Type B-3 jacket, these trousers formed part of the standardized flight clothing used by bomber and transport crews in the European and Pacific theaters. This example, sized 38, reflects the original specifications and material choices established by Air Force procurement contracts of the era. The A-10 trousers are notable for their practical design and historic association with USAAF flight crews.
