Was Colonel Hogans jacket black or brown?
Colonel Hogan was issued a standard A-2 flying jacket, which is traditionally made of brown cowhide. Typical of leather products, the brown leather used for the jackets vary in color and his was of the darker variety, so it sometimes appears to be black on television. FYI, the A-2 jacket is still worn by today’s Air Force, although you have to be a pilot to qualify to wear one!
