These two World War II Luftwaffe coats bear shoulder boards for an aviation/paratrooper oberleutant (principle lieutenant). 1) Greatcoat manufactured by Otto Thomsen, leather construction. 2) Unlabeled flight jacket, brown leather construction with a bullion breast eagle, and a magnetic wrist compass. These jackets are a reminder of the role the always style conscious Luftwaffe pilots played when the Germans ruled the skies during the darkest days of World War II. Provenance: The Saloga Collection
