Vintage Original FG 58 Pilot's Silver Sunglasses by American Optical USA with case
Vintage Original FG 58 Pilot's Silver Folding Sunglasses By American Optical. Original American Optical Case is included.
Inside earpiece reads - 5 1/2 AO American Optical. Original Pilot square aviators were first developed in 1958 to meet the unique needs of American military pilots. Then called the FG-58 (flight goggles 1958), they were carefully designed to meet all of the needs of military aviators. The distinctive shape maximized the field of vision while minimizing glare; bayonet temples were designed to eliminate interference with helmets.
They soon became much more than military pilot sunglasses. In 1969, they landed on the moon as part of the survival kits of all Apollo astronauts. Still made in the USA from premium global components, still engineered to rigid military specifications, these aviator sunglasses are built to last.
It's no coincidence that AO Sunwear was the choice of JFK, the first man on the moon, and has been immortalized in Hollywood history. Apocalypse Now, Taxi Driver, Top Gun, Don Draper, John Hamm, Tom Cruise, Johnny Depp, Robert De Niro. Last pic is not actual photo of the item for sale - this is just to show the celebrities that wear this same style of sunglasses.
