US Army Air Forces B-17 bomber pilots and air crewmen early in WW2 were issued the classic A-6A sheepskin leather flight boots to protect against frigid temperatures at high altitudes. This pair of US Army AAF WW2 B-17 Bomber Pilot Converse A-6A Sheepskin Leather Flight Boots are in fair condition, with some tearing and stitch repairing along the inner left instep, some surface tearing around the inner left ankle and along the left zipper track, some light surface tearing at the back left heel, some scattered drying throughout, and with moderate overall fragility and age wear evident. Otherwise, the boots are in fair shape, with no other damage to the tough brown sheepskin leather construction. Most interestingly, they are a Size X-Large (9-10), boast fully functional brass front zippers, and the left boot carries the original “SHOES: PILOT’S / (WINTER FLYING) / TYPE A-6A / Converse” AAF nomenclature label at the front tongue. They bear the iconic “winged star” outline decal of the “ARMY AIR FORCES” at each outer ankle, sport the classic brown leather “wrap around” straps, ridged black rubber soles, and warm sheepskin fleece interiors, and are an honest example of rare, original US Army AAF WW2 B-17 Bomber Pilot Converse A-6A Sheepskin Leather Flight Boots.
