Brice, I saw that, too... I am just scurring my books to see if I can find one in action as I am sure I have seen at least one picture of a single piece leather flight suit worn. I do second Cyril regarding the combination. USAF or early German flight suits, Flight Jacket and G-pants. P-4 helmets in the beginning, RAF helmets for some Marineflieger.

Some images of Luftwaffe/ Marineflieger spirit and flying garb late 50s, early 60s.

On 03 April 1964 JaboG 32 lost Oberleutnant Michels who, due to navigational problems, in cloud, hit a mountain in northwest Sardinia (while on detachment to the firing range) in his F-84F Thunderstreak (DB-106/ 53-7210). His squadron mates stand solemnly as honour guard in full flying garb (sans survival vest).

Thanks.
Saw a Lademeister ( Load-master) of a C160 of LTG 61 in Deci. wearing one in 1982-1983.

Very solid example for sale here (unfortunately not my size): https://www.haas-ausruestungen.de/a...-pilot-jacket-size-15-xl-long-mint-condition/ I contacted the website and received these measurements:
Chest 59 cm
Shoulders 52 cm
Sleeves 67 cm
Front zip 70 cm
Condition apparently unworn and comes with a free Nomex flight suit.

Nice jacket, great marketing.
If you are looking for an issued one in your size please let me know and of course your all in all budget…
Thankyou.

The hide is goat.
The breastpatch belongs to Hubschraubergeschwader 64 (Helicopter Squadron 64) based in Laupheim near Ulm. It is the only helicopter-squadron attached to the Luftwaffe (Airforce), all others belong to Heer (Army). They fly Sikorsky CH-53, Bell UH-1D, NH90 and Airbus H145M.

And MBB Bo-105 , at least in 1982

Nice little vid on the Brequet Atlantic. From 1:10ff you can see the slightly different colours of jackets issued, all of them shades of grey though:

I swear I saw one of these as a child but it was a greenish grey leather with a green furry liner

 

[Hazayad]

Like this?

That's the (formerly) BGS Federal Border Guard flight jacket. I have the liner in storage.

Ahhh yes it's been 25 years or so but I'm sure it looked like that with a distinct "Teddy Bear" lining!

I remember the guy also had a "Gestapo" jacket (just the double breasted leather peacoat that was around before the Polizei went to the "bomber jacket") in the same green leather with the bundes eagle on the arm.

 

[Hazayad]

LOL, 'Gestapo' coat... Reminds me of: "Don't mention the war! I might have but I think I got away with it..."

I myself have a black one with silver buttons and the "concealed carry" pocket for the holster (which I made into a normal pocket after getting a pocket bag sewn on and the clips taken out)
Bloody brilliant coat for hitting the Goth Club in and keeps me toasty warm for the trip to and from work

Dear @Wholenineyards, would you say that this one is a genuine Bundeswehr (Luftwaffe) jacket? I've recently found it at a local vendor...and he's asking €210. It looks like an '83 issued jacket.
Thanks in advance for your help!
