Luftwaffe Uniform In Wear
Well...I am not a Model, Luftwaffe Pilot or a famous WWII reenactor. My seated mannequin is coming next week. I looked at all the parts tonight to this Luftwaffe Summer Flying Suit and thought it would fit this dummy so I took it for a test flight.
It did fit perfect except the wrist compass was just a little too small to get over the gauntlet so I did not push it. Some pictures converted to black and white as well.
Have a good weekend!

Looking good Kirk... I actually found an original parachute recently with all the regalia.. G-man
I'd rather be A "RaD Man than a Mad Man "
Well if you are now a baron you gotta get a Luft visor....and then try to squeeze into a cockpit of a Bf109.
I heard they were really small
Really nice set up
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

Looking good, Rossi. Thought you might like a period image of the flightsuit in wear:
