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 metal dish-buttons on the right front panel and the corresponding, hidden button holes on the left front panel. One of the metal dish-buttons is missing. The blouse has a single metal hook and eye at the neck for a secure closure. A machine embroidered Luftwaffe eagle is original factory applied to the blouse. The collar has a pair of machine-sewn golden yellow wool collar tabs, both with one aluminum rank 'gull' indicating an Private/Soldat within a Flight/FJ unit. Shoulder-board loops and buttons are present. The interior of the flight blouse is partially lined in light grey rayon.
