Period photos of two piece Mediterranean flight suit

[james nz]

Hello all,
I have been trying to find period photos of Luftwaffe pilots or aircrew wearing the two piece tan coloured Mediterranean pattern flight suit, but it isn't easy. Ideally I want to see the matching jacket with some flight gear as you regularly see for the blue suit.
Does anyone have any saved photos that they wouldn't mind sharing please?
Thanks
James

I think that's difficult because the two piece 'mediterranean' suit, made for hot weather war theatre, wasn't be able to reach Nord Africa because the front collapse before the suit could be delivered. They must be sought after among the Reich Defence crew, that use widely the garment.

Thanks for the photos Wayne and Frank.
Frank, that's an interesting comment. My tan channel trousers are dated 42 so I assumed they had a chance of making it to North Africa.
This photo shows a great mix of colours in use

Maybe someone else will show photos in the Mediterranean trousers and jackets. Thank you for an interesting topic

Cool pics Jos

Superb photos thanks Jos and Sergey!
Interesting that you can see belt loops added on the channel trousers in one of the photos. They must have been heavy loaded with a flare pistol and survival items.

Hello James,


thanks for the photo. You have wonderful items.

I think they put the belt loops on their own.

Are these also the kind of clothing we´re looking for?

More photo Mediterranean costumes.

Note that many pilots tuck the bottom part of the jacket.
I think it's important that the belt does not fall down IMHO.
