Development of protective flight uniforms and equipment began with the advent of military aircraft in WWI and continued on into the Weimar and the Third Reich eras, resulting in three distinct one-piece combination pattern flight suits being approved before WWII and worn for the duration of the war with minor modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a very good condition early war, heavy, one piece, coverall style, winter flight suit constructed in brushed grey velveteen fabric with a large chocolate brown fleece, lay down collar. There is a tag in-between two of the buttons, but it is mostly too worn to read, but we can make out the word \u003cstrong\u003eSEROKA\u003c\/strong\u003e. This is a good opportunity for further research. We checked the zippers, and they are all maker marked, made by \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eElite\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eRi Ri\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, and ZIPP, which are all known Luftwaffe zipper suppliers. Most retain their leather tabs, and we also checked the snaps, which are all marked \u003cstrong\u003ePRYM \/ 6H\u003c\/strong\u003e, another known Luftwaffe supplier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fur lining is well-retained, and the zippers and buttons all appear functional. However, there are some small holes and tears across the exterior fabric, the largest being a tear in the right side pocket.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely example which will fit well into any German flight collection.
