Question about a "Flier's" jacket

Hello,
I am new to the forum I would like to share with you this jacket I just acquired on ebay. It is listed as a G-1 jacket. However, Flyer's is spelled with and "i" and the contract numbers seem strange. What do you think. I appreciate all your help and I am excited to be part of the community!

Well, it is a G-1 of sorts and at least not one of those awful fully ‘mall’ versions with the pocket hand warmers. It kinda looks like one of the later Pharr jackets, labelled for the the civilian market.

Thanks for your help! I took some more pictures, it has USN perforated on the zipper flap. It also seems to originally have had an Ideal zipper and was later fixed with part of a Talon zipper.
