I have a question that I have been pondering about for some time; I thought some of my fellow forum members could help me answer it. I know that the B-2 jacket was only manufactured from 1931 - 1934 when it was succeeded by the B-3, which then went on for another 10 years or so until the AN-J-4 came along. What about the B-1, though? How many years was it produced before the B-2 spec.?
From some research on the Fedora Lounge, there were 2 contracts in total for the B-1: both awarded to Switlik Parachute. This data was actually summarized from the "Full Gear" book over on the "Lounge." Would this imply that the B-1 was only made for a couple of years, say from 1929 - 1931?
I'm just fishing for further information from those who have more information/sources.
Thanks,
Noel
