British Aircrew Lightweight D.T.D.1102 Flying Gloves
Gloves similar to the standard cape leather gloves but with slightly longer cuff. I researched D.T.D. and found it to be the Directorate of Technical Development, and D.T.D.1102 is one of their standards. If I can find a copy of this stnadard it will be shown why the cuff was extended on these gloves.
