The concept of massing a large number of aircraft, launched from a mobile airfield, which can have a devastating impact on the enemy’s readiness for war, belonged to the Japanese forces. The decimation of the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii in late 1941 was the result of this idea. Most battles of World War II were fought on sea, making technological advancements for the naval forces a must. Aircraft carriers were increased in strength and might, since America’s entry in the war.

The flight jacket, like so many things in life, was born out of necessity. While man had been fighting battles on the ground and at sea for centuries, World War I introduced a new battlefield – the air. The first step had been to develop a plane that could do battle. Then they had to equip it with suitable weapons and be sure to issue the men who would fly the planes with protective clothing so that they wouldn’t freeze in the air.

The German Luftwaffe in July and August of 1941 encountered for the first time a previously unknown Russian fighter with a long slender nose. It was obviously powered by an inline or “Vee” type engine, which was also surprising because all the Soviet fighters up to that time were powered by radial engines and lacked the performance of the front line German fighters. The Luftwaffe pilots were taken completely by surprise by the existence of this new fighter, because their information from Luftwaffe intelligence about the Soviet Air Force was practically non-existent.
