"Hairless Joe" Socks

Step into history with our Hairless Joe Socks, a tribute to one of the most legendary aircraft and crews of World War II. These socks honor Lt. Col. Dick Cole, co-pilot to Jimmy Doolittle and later pilot of Hairless Joe in the 319th Troop Carrier Squadron, 1st Air Commando Group. The name “Hairless Joe” was chosen by Cole’s crew and inspired by a character from the beloved 1940s comic strip Li’l Abner.

The Hairless Joe aircraft was among those that braved “The Hump”—the perilous flight route over the Himalayas, reaching altitudes of nearly 29,000 feet, to deliver vital supplies to China after the Japanese cut off the Burma Road. These missions were some of the most dangerous yet crucial air operations of the war.

With a comfortable medium cushion and a cotton-rich blend, these socks are designed for all-day wear, whether you’re on duty, at the office, or in the air. Celebrate courage, ingenuity, and American aviation history with every step.
