What kind of jacket is this?

Labeled "leather flight jacket" in the Richmond VA Historical Society Museum. I bow to the forum's experts - what type is it?

M445 ?

M445 ?

Sure looks like one.

I'm curious. How did you ID it ?

Type AND manufacturer - thanks guys! They also had Ray Nance's (Bedford Boys) D-Day jacket there but I was chased out before I could snap that one. Closing time (5 PM!) in Richmond is taken very seriously. Must be a Southern thing.
