ace-o-aces Guest Posts: n/a	Surprisingly, given the vastness of the Internet, I haven't been able to find a decent illustration of a WWI aviator uniform. Anyone know a site that would have a few good pictures?

Here is a good example of an Escadrille Lafayette flight suit. This one worn by Harold Willis. http://memorial.flight.free.fr/gallery/spa...XIII/Willis.jpg and James Norman Hall... http://204.83.160.230/archive/images3/hall.jpg I assume these to be French issue, comparing with with what Guynemer was wearing during Sep 1917. http://204.83.160.230/archive/a/images/Guy...ynemerSPAD7.jpg Photo of Walter Avery 95th Aero Sqdn wearing similar coverall style sans fur. http://204.83.160.230/archive/w/images/LtW...tAvery_SPAD.jpg Hope this helps VBR Rod __________________ Breguet's Aircraft Challenge Breguet's Crash Files Breguet's Pre-1914 Aircraft Challenge Fliegen ist notwendig.

ace-o-aces Guest Posts: n/a	Very useful, thank you. Were these one piece suits or separate pants and jackets. (They look like one piece in the pictures.) Also, where are the insignia put on the flightsuits (If they were).
