          The white look can be caused the light conditions.

            If the light was bright enough to make the leather of the earphone covers look white, I would think this guy would have melted.

              Had a leather light grey one once but think it would look darker than the photo.

                It's a white flight cap, the guy is Erwin Fischer, 1./Fernaufklärungs-Gruppe 121 ..
                Here few small pics where you can see it compared to a white visor cap.

                  You are right. What about schwimmweste? Is it white too?

                    I've seen inflatable swimmingvest in a very light color, so in a pic they will look like white.
                    This guy operated in a glass cockpit in tropical areas I believe, so the white color was probably to reflect sun light to reduce the heat, just my guess.
                    Nevertheless a very interesting cap.

                      Hi Jos!

                      Some time ago I got this picture and remembered your thread!

                      It also shows Fischer with his white N101, which seems to be a 2nd type, as he holds a 3 point mask in his hands.

                      There was also a similar one for sale at Emig:
                      https://www.kpemig.de/Luftwaffe-Netz...er-Ausfuehrung

                      Best regards,
                      Lukas

                        Looks like he is wearing an RAF Irvin flight jacket.

                            Nice pictures

                            And I agree that the flight helmets in the pictures are looking white.

                            Post some pictures of the light colored flight helmet for future reference.
