There was no specific uniforms for fighter pilots as opposed pilots of other types, but fighter pilots being a breed alone did often wear more individual uniforms. I did some checking and I think this is the 2 piece suit winter land suit introduced in mid 1941. I see no reason why that figure would be a 109 pilot and I think he would fit in any aircraft operating over land in winter.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Correct usage of German pilot figure
Posted by Stick78 on Wednesday, November 26, 2014 1:36 PM

Hi guys,

Aries models has this 1/32, resin, German pilot figure and it notes it as a late BF109 pilot (http://www.aires.cz/en/product/german-luftwaffe-pilot-wwii-for-bf-109-late-v/13-2311/).

My question is could other pilots say flying the Me 110...the FW190...Heinkel 111 or Junkers 88 or Ju87 "Stuka" have been dressed this way as well.  Or is there something about this figure that makes it only suitable for fighter pilots and late fighter pilots at that ?

Thanks for the advice.
