Introduced between 1946 and 1949, the L-2 is the quintessential light flight jacket, primarily used in warm weather and summer. The L-2 succeeded the A-2, transitioning from leather to nylon as the main fabric. Its design is based on the B-15, but with the mouton shearling collar replaced by wool knit collars. The switch from leather to nylon was due to inconsistent leather sourcing and the evolution of jet engine aircraft. The L-2 was only produced for a short period before being replaced by the L-2A, making it a rare find in the vintage market. Pilot uniforms were classified into three zones based on altitude and temperature conditions: Heavy, Intermediate, and Light.
