Aviator jackets for High-Flying Trendies!

The Aviator Jacket is one of the most sought-after must-have looks this autumn, taking inspiration from the Spitfire Women of the 1940s.  Ever since Christopher Bailey of Burberry Prorsom showed the aviator jacket on its autumn/winter 2010 catwalk show, many high street brands have paid homage to the era with variations of the 1930s leather jacket featuring shearling collar or fleece trims and zippered closure. At the British brand Dom&Ruby which specialises in shearling and leather, its Limited Edition shearling aviator jacket shown above is bang on trend.
Some call it the Biggles look. Biggles is the nickname of James Bigglesworth - a pilot and adventurer. It is also the title character and main hero of the Biggles series of youth-oriented adventure books written by W. E. Johns, first published in the 1930s.




Spitfire Women is also the name of part of a current BBC series marking the 70th anniversary of The Battle of Britain ).  The programme highlights the remarkable women who flew planes for the Air Transport Auxiliary. They came from all continent to England to fly Spitfires, Hurricanes and Lancasters, from 1939 to the end of the Second World War.  These women were the true high-flyers of their era.
