    • Following the introduction of the N-3 jacket and the establishment of the U.S. Air Force as an independent branch in 1951, the N-3A marked this turning point by being manufactured in Air Force blue. This unique color distinction lasted only two years before the N-3B entered production.

    N-3 Parka was labeled "Specification No. 3110" and had an olive green nylon outer, wolf fur trim on brown sheepskin lined hood, and was wool blanket insulated with a nylon inner lining. Around 1950, after the U.S. Air Force separated from the Army, the model became N-3A, the specification became MIL-J-6279 and the nylon outer was USAF blue in color. By 1958 the parka was known as the N-3B, under specification MIL-J-6279A and was grey in color.
