Here's one I've never seen before...I assume NSFK, is that correct?
cheers, Glenn

No, it's the uniform of the DLV.
More precisely, we can tell from the wearing of two shoulder boards that he is a member of the Fliegerschaft, i.e. the nascent Luftwaffe-in-hiding.
The collar patches are for the DLV ranks of 2. Flugzeugführer, 2. Bordfunker and Wart (i.e. Flieger-Obergefreiter / Flieger-Sanitätsobergefreiter).

For the NSFK you must have the specific eagle on the breast, I had one uniform like this in the past, wonderful !

HPL is of course correct.
Nice photo. However, the cap badge with the winged propeller is also from the DLV, not the NSFK.
It's still a DLV badge.
It was only carried over and worn by the early NSFK for a brief transitional period.
Ok so it seems french old press was aproximative in their description.
Thanks a lot.
But what 's the difference beetween them ?
The wreathed-and-winged cockade (as seen in post # 1) was worn by the Motorflieger [powered aircraft] section, whereas the winged propeller-and-swastika badge (as seen in posts # 5 & 7) was originally for the Segelflieger [glider pilots] section only and finally adopted by the whole organization.
See these two threads for multiple examples of both types of badges:
