Luftwaffe 'Hermann Göring' Division Flight Blouse (Fliegerbluse). The Luftwaffe flight blouse was originally introduced in early 1935 and was based on the Fliegerbluse worn earlier by the DLV (Deutscher Luftsport Verband). The flight blouse remained in service through-out the war with minor modifications. The blue/grey wool construction flight blouse features a vertical French fly style, front closure with four buttons on the right front panel and the corresponding, hidden button holes on the left front panel. The blouse has a single metal hook and eye at the neck for a secure closure. A nicely machine-embroidered Luftwaffe breast-eagle is nicely factory machine-sewn to the blouse. The other Hermann Göring Division insignia being a pair of Obergefreiter's collar tabs, EM's type shoulder straps and a 'Hermann Göring' cufftitle are in my opinion all reapplied/restored, see photos. The interior of the flight blouse is partially lined in light grey rayon. There are size markings (chest size 90 cms) and the tunic is nicely marked with RB.Nr. 0/0750/0078. The tunic is in very good condition showing only minimal traces of usage and some small (moth)damage, see photos. Being an in my opinion restored flight blouse I've therefore priced it accordingly!

This flight blouse originates from the collection of the recently closed Eyewitness Museum!
