History
During World War II, the Boeing B-17 "Flying Fortress" (Flying Fortress) and Consolidated B-24 "Liberator" bombers were not pressurized or heated, so at high altitudes their interior temperature dropped sharply. To try to alleviate its effects, the aviators who flew in them were protected by a special sheepskin jacket.
