Custom Bomber Jacket Style Art by Squadron Posters!
Shop Available Bomber Jacket Style Art [See Entire Collection Here]:
The bomber jacket originated from heavy leather flight jackets (like the B-3) for WWI pilots in open cockpits, evolving with the A-2 and nylon MA-1 for high-altitude bomber crews needing warmth and mobility; after WWII, surplus jackets were adopted by youth subcultures (mods, skinheads, punks) and pop icons (Run-DMC, Princess Diana), transforming it from military gear into a timeless symbol of cool rebellion and enduring fashion. A flight jacket is a casual jacket that was originally created for pilots and eventually became part of popular culture and apparel. It has evolved into various styles and silhouettes, including the letterman jacket and the fashionable bomber jacket that is known today.
Bomber jacket artwork, primarily from WWII, transformed the A-2 leather flight jacket into a canvas for personal expression, military pride, and storytelling, featuring hand-painted unit patches, aircraft nicknames, cartoon characters (like Disney’s), pin-up girls (Vargas girls), and mission tallies (bombs), reflecting aviators’ individuality and experiences as a form of folk art and valor, evolving from aircraft nose art and unit insignia into a symbol of daring and camaraderie.
