jagdflieger m. notausrüstung 1940

[fw_190]

hier ein schöner sammlungszugang. ein jagdflieger mit provisorischer notausrüstung. der zweiteilige kombi scheint der zu sein der aus dem material der einteiligen winterkombi hergestellt wurde. die hose habe ich vor jahren mal in meiner sammlung gehabt. eine jacke dazu habe ich noch nie gesehen.

das bild stammt aus dem album eines wartes der 5/jg 52 im zeitraum 23.9.40 - 3.11.40 an der kanalküste.

meine frage an euch ist, 1 was hat er da über seine kopfhaube gezogen 2 was hat er um seine beine gewickelt.

Thats a great photo. Looks like he have wrapt some cheepskin around his legs.

I have seen a couple of cut down jackets from the winter suit, but never pants.

1- Probably just a cover to protect his head from the sun
2- Sheepskin covers so his flare bandoleer (and any other equipment) doesn't rub too hard into his shins

leider habe ich von der hose kein bildmaterial mehr. habe meine sammlung vor jahren umgestellt auf die 2teiligen kanal anzüge.

sonnenschutz im spätherbst? und wenn doch, warum brauchte man später im krieg keinen sonnenschutz?

Nice picture ..

I think he's using the cover for protection against cold, looks he's wearing it over a Netzkopf haube .., he also has a pair of Winter type gloves and I think the sheep skin was also used against cold knees/feet, think I've seen some other pics where a pilot is wearing sheep skin like this.

And he is wearing customised, pre-channel suit, pants...

I would like to say the same thing...

But, could be the lower part of a 'bulgarian' suit, cutted and customized?

Cheers!

It's a Bulgarian pair of trousers IMO, not a cut flight suit or something.
Have seen them several times in pics and 2 times for sale.

Hi Jos!
You're talking about a two piece bulgarian suit? I don't know about its existence... So exist also a bulgarian jacket, isn't it?
Have you a pic to show it?

Take care!
