Product Description
New Reproduction of the USAAF Suit, Type F-1, Electrically heated 24 volts DC. One-piece felted woven wool suit with a blanket style lining. Features authentic zip fasteners from the crotch to the neck, on the inside legs, cuffs and fly. Integral wiring elements and sockets at the wrists and ankles allow heated gloves and boot liners to be attached. The suit has a wiring loom attached to the front with a 2-pin plug for connection with an aircraft's electrical circuit. It also has knitted cuffs, anklets and collar plus a buttoned flap at the rear for toilet use. Commonly referred to as the 'Blue Bunny', these suits were issued exclusively to B-17 Flying Fortress crews as the B-17 was initially the only aircraft to use a 24-volt system prior to the abandonment of 12-volt systems. These high quality reproductions were manufactured by the Belgian company QMI for use in a recent TV series. The electrical elements are for costume/prop use and DO NOT FUNCTION. SO DO NOT PLUG THESE INTO YOUR B-17's Power SUPPLY! (Sorry, had to say that just in case...) These are new and unused and made exclusively by QMI.
