Luftwaffe Flight NCO's Flight Blouse (Fliegerbluse) as intended for a 'Feldwebel der Fallschirmjäger'. 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 machine embroidered Luftwaffe breast-eagle is factory machine-sewn to the tunic. A pair of yellow-coloured collar tabs, both having three rank gulls applied, is nicely machine sewn to the collar. Silver NCO braid is machine-sewn around the collar. Shoulder-board loops and buttons are present. The tunic comes together with a nice pair of shoulder-straps as intended for a 'Feldwebel'. The insignia are having the golden-yellow 'Waffenfarbe' indicating a Feldwebel within a 'Flieger' or 'Fallschirmjäger' (paratrooper) unit. There are loops to the wearer's left breast to attach a badge and a cloth paratrooper badge is nicely hand-sewn to the breast. The interior of the flight blouse is partially lined in grey cotton. There are size markings (chest size 84 cms) and the tunic is nicely maker marked, the tunic is 'L.B.A.' marked and looks to be dated 1941. The tunic is slightly period shortened. The tunic is in very good condition showing only minimal traces of usage, see photos. Nice original Paratrooper flight blouse in very good condition!
