I think I recall a number of 7000 parachutes manufactured in Germany in WWI. Nevertheless not every aviator was getting a parachute until the end of the war. Remind the report of Gustav Praclik in "Unter Stahlhelm und Fliegerhaube"! When he was shot down and escaped with the help of the parachute he was in fact using the parachute of his CO and had not had an own chute before.
That happened on 25th October 1918! Nevertheless I think Dan-San is correct if he says it was ordered to deliver all aircraft with parachutes. When Major Siegert was listing the equipment for a normal C-aircraft he was also mentioning "2 Fallschirme mit Gurten à 6,800 kg = 13,600 kg." VBR Rammjaeger |
