With the use of jet and pressurized aircraft during the Korean War (1950-1954), fighter and bomber pilots, as well as the various crew members, were equipped with the B-15 Nylon jacket, replacing the leather ones.
It became an indispensable garment for them, due to its warmth, light weight and ease of movement in the narrow cockpits.
