Just got this NWT goatskin A2 by Willis Geiger. Mint condition. Saw this timeline printed on the tag, very intriguing.
1902-Ben Willis developed clothing for his arctic explorations
.....
1931-Awarded U.S.Army Air Corps contract for A-2 flight jacket.
....
1941-Outfitted American volunteer group the Flying Tiger fight in China.
Any of this is true? How was Ben Willis involved in the design of the A2 (or A1)?...
Who "invented" the A2?? (Ben Willis??)
