Red/Orange flight jacket

[SprogCollector]

Something new for leather flight jackets -- red/orange? I've seen the standard grey, white, and Polizei grün. Never this color.

Referring to the auction this one is not a military or official issued flight jacket. ADAC is a German Automobile Club that runs it's own rescue helicopters.

I remember ADAC very well. When I lived in Germany in the late 1980s I felt like every other car on the road was a yellow ADAC car!

SprogCollector,

Interesting jacket. Perhaps you could start an ADAC thread?

Now knowing that ADAC flight crews wear a red/orange version of the BW leder fliegerjacke pretty much represents 100% of my knowledge on ADAC.

SprogCollector,

I guess I will have to add this to my long fist of things in the BRD to research. Thanks for starting this post it could lead to many interesting discoveries down the road.

Regards,

Gordon
