Description
Development of protective flight uniforms and equipment began with the advent of military aircraft in WWI and continued on into the Weimar and the Third Reich eras, resulting in three distinct one-piece combination pattern flight suits being approved before WWII and worn for the duration of the war with minor modifications.
This auction features an 100% guaranteed pre-1945 German Flight Suit. In NEW OLD STOCK condition, it is manufactured in light brown/tan cotton, it has a full length zipper in the front, as well as sleeve, ankle, and various access zips. All zippers are made by ZIPP. The snaps are marked, “PRYM”, and the original leather neck strap is also still present! It features the unit marking, of a Pilot School Technical Company on the inside…as well as a manufacture label clearly indicating, Striegel & Wagner GmbH. Appears to be a size 2B. The colors are still VERY sharp, and all zippers are 100% functional! In near PERFECT condition, but there are some stains from storage on the reverse. Would make an EXCELLENT addition to any collection or display!
