A bit of history
The first bomber was designed specifically for pilots of bombers. Today it is difficult to believe in it, but it happened even during the First World War. At that time, the cockpits of the aircraft were not yet equipped with safety glasses, and it was very cold at high altitude.
Therefore, initially the bombers were voluminous sheepskin coats made of thick leather lined with sheep fur. They had a turn-down collar and a belt in the abdomen that did not allow the cold wind to penetrate inside.
Along with the improvement of the aircraft and improved bomber. When the cabins became heated, they began to sew it from horse leather, it became much easier and more convenient.
Nevertheless, the voluminous leather models still interfered with the control of the aircraft, therefore, before the start of World War II, the development of bombers from light but warm material began. It was nylon, which was permanently strengthened in the position of leader. Then a utility pocket appeared on the sleeve of the jacket, which remains there to this day.
The bomber underwent recent changes in the late 40s, it was the moment of the appearance of the famous model MA-1. Then finally abandoned the volumetric fur collar, which interfered with the pilots, replacing it with knitwear. Today the shape of this collar is the hallmark of any bomber.
