JU 52 Pilot, gunners
Posted by StreetFightingMan on Saturday, January 23, 2010 12:57 PM

Hey guys and gals!  I'm working on a Junkers Ju 52 model, and through all my research, I can't seem to figure out the types of uniforms that the pilots and gunners wore.  I will either be making mine in the Russian theatre or Italy.  Any help is appreciated! Thanx in advance!

I would imagine their flight uniforms and gear would be determined by theater of service, time of year, and period of the war.The flght crew of an aircraft operating over the water out of Italy in fall of 42 flying reinforcements to North Africa would have differant flight gear than say those flying supplies overland to Stalingrad a month or two later. But in general, they would be clothed and equipped similar to their bomber crew bretheren.
