This is a very nice service used WWII German Luftwaffe Summer Flyers Suit (Fliegerschutzanzug für Sommer) with an original matching flight helmet. The suit is a one piece, coverall style summer flight suit constructed in slightly mottled, white flecked, tan cotton with leather and metal fittings. We often see these looking like they never left the depot, but this one looks to have at least seen minor service. The helmet is in good shape with some small tears and a missing snap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost buttons, snaps and zippers on the suit are present, though they definitely do show wear from age and use.
