My stepmother was given a WWII Japanese heated flying suit. She would get cold elk hunting and a friend got it for her. I don't remember a lot about it: cloth was a canvas type material. Lining was rabbit fur throughout. Never got the heating system to work as it was like some weird DC voltage. I really cannot remember the rating. Guess I could look up the specs for the zero or the betty. I do know it was not 32 VDC, as we had a light plant of that voltage. I still did my homework by mantle lamp, as it was brighter. Oh yeah, Mom said she stayed very warm without the heater. 73 On 1/3/2013 1:06 PM, Chuck Hards wrote:
When Patrick and I were frequenting "Little Stonehenge" out by Grantsville in the mid-70's and dead of winter, he had a surplus Air Force heated flight suit that he powered with his car battery! As I recall, it was full-body- except for the rump... I think he told me that was because the seats were heated in the aircraft.
