Well, yes, might look that it was for fun, but I think this is the making of some pics that were published in a Adler magazine.Originally posted by frank savage View Post
I think we won't see more pics of the Sichtfahne in use, because it was a survival item.
There's a nice pic though of a crashed pilot drifting in his life boat for a couple of days and he's using a Sichtfahne with it's flag as a sail.
Shots like that are super rare.
Other rare and IMO non-existing shots are from the signal mirror, which I think was part of a survival kit carried in planes rather than a personal item to carry in the pocket, because if it were, we would find demonstration pics like these ones.
Most important things carried by pilots were the Farbbeutel, knife, flare gun and cartridges and a Sichtfahne, not the signal mirror IMO.
