Cagleco Sportswear, which became Ralph Edwards Sportswear in 1957, had six contracts for G-1s from 1954 to 1957. This jacket is from their penultimate contract from 1957. It is in near mint condition, with just a few repaired moth nips. The goatskin is in beautiful condition as is the lining and the dark mouton collar. It is a size 42 and I'm very pleased with the fit.
The jacket belonged to Belonged to LCDR H.P. Pruitt – Flight Officer (Communications/Intelligence).He served in Korea and Vietnam; late in his career was a member of the USN Airborne Early Warning Squadron 4 (VW4) – the Hurricane Hunters. This unit also tracked submarines as well.The squadron is famous for flying into Hurricanes and tropical storms!
