B-3A Summer Flying Gloves

Specification
MIL-G-9087

The B-3A Summer Flying Gloves were standard issue for all U.S. pilots at the start of the Vietnam War. Made from leather, they provided only limited fire protection and caused excessive perspiration in the tropical conditions. These deficiencies were corrected with the introduction of the fire retardant Nomex gloves in 1967.
