The WW2 US USAAF 12th Air Force Named Officer’s Tan 4 Pocket Jacket is an original uniform item issued to United States Army Air Forces personnel during the Second World War. This specific example is attributed to an officer from the 12th Air Force, a significant air component that operated primarily in the Mediterranean Theater. The jacket is constructed from tan gabardine wool, consistent with officer dress requirements of the period. It features four external pockets—two breast and two lower pockets—with scalloped flaps and securing buttons. Insignia, unit identification, and the officer’s name are typically displayed through sewn or pinned badges, though their presence varies by individual garment. The interior often includes a tailoring label and may have a name tag or ink-stamped identification linked to its original wearer. This jacket represents the standard officer’s service attire and reflects the organizational structure and operational theaters of the USAAF during World War II.
