LEFT: This “Major” is shown consulting a Hunter Mk. 58 pocket checklist. He is wearing a leather pilot jacket, a model 1950 flight suit (“Pilotenkombi 50”), model 1963 flight boots (“Pilotenschuhe 63”) and a modified CSU-13A/P anti-G garment. A pair of sunglasses completes the equipment (Swiss made copy of American optical sunglasses, with improved frame). On the ground lies a Gentex/Sportex made H-5 helmet and a carry bag for personal items, the "Effektentasche".

TOP CENTER: In case of ditching, a small nitrogen-filled bottle could be fired to pressurize the anti-G garment which could then be used as a flotation device.

BOTTOM CENTER: A close-up of the notepad holder and pencil holders, sewn to the anti-G garment.

RIGHT: The pilot is examining a practice/inert model of an Oerlikon 8 cm air-to-ground unguided rocket (“8 cm Oe Flz Rak”).
