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)?...
