how to take care of leather?

Hi everyone!

So my uncle passed away awhile ago and he left me with some of my grandfathers WWII stuff including his original leather bomber jacket along with a remake of it down to the stitching and inside tags of the jacket. I however, have no idea how to take care of it; if i need to put a special oil on it? keep it in a dark cool place? how often should i oil it if at all? any help would be much appreciated as I would HATE to see my grandpas original bomber jacket dry up and die.

Thanks in advance!
