Pair of Royal Air Force (RAF) flight gauntlets type D.

Nice soft brown leather construction with thin wool lining. The left and right gauntlet were manufactured by different companies.

Type D flight gloves were manufactured by different companies and were paired together right before being issued to RAF pilots. This procedure was in place to avoid the heavy theft rates encountered by local RAF equipment depots. RAF flight gauntlets were very sought after by US pilots and bomber crews and were often stolen from local depots.

This procedure didn't prevent this particular pair of gauntlets type D from being picked up by a USAAF fighter pilot and worn in flight!

Condition :
Good condition with obvious wear and small hole below the left gauntlet thumb.
