Finnish Air force used 1940 dated kapok-filled Schwimmweste model 10-76A , this one of the ones found in Finland some years ago , i am clearing out the last items of my Finnish Airforce collection

Interesting. But I just skimmed pilots, Finn "Lentäjä" searchword in SA-photo archives, but I couldnt find this Kapok lifevest in airforce use. Absent in pilot photos.

There was only "Type 10-30" inflatable lifevest in pilot photos, but not this one.

I think i have seen this in Finnish navy photos.

But here is germans in Finland, search word "lautta" = raft
