US Navy 1963 Winter Flying "WEP" Jacket - Very good Condition Beautiful mint conditionThe WEP Jacket was first ordered in the very late 1950s, infact before the Bureau of Aeronautics (AER) became the Bureau of Weapons (WEP) from which the WEP jacket takes its name.

Condition Seemingly lightly used and excellent shape. Some light wear to one cuff and a tiny hole
