Having evolved from its remote ancestor, the original David Clark XMC-2-DC suit first produced in 1956, the Pilot's Protective Assembly (PPA) model S901 worn by the first SR-71 crews, was initially produced for the Lockheed A-12 program in the early 60s. This garment evolved through several improved models that resulted in the S1030 suit.
