Strap in and put on your oxygen, we\'re taking off on another ambiguously long historical series! Aside from jeans, I can\'t think of another garment that tracks the history of the twentieth century better than the flight jacket. Starting in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903 and leading all the way to putting a man on the moon, the garments of aviation had to advance just as quickly as the aircraft themselves.
\\nIn our first episode, we get into the prehistory of flight and what people wore when they were strapping chicken feathers on to themselves and serving in the Union Army\'s Balloonist Corps in the Civil War.
