WW II German Aviation – ZIPP CHANNEL PANTS / JACKET ZIPPER – VERY RARE!
By A Mystery Man Writer
Last updated 11 Jun 2024
You are bidding on a VERY NICE used example of a Zipp zipper, as used on WW2 German Fliegerjacke (Pilot Jacket) and Fliegerhosen (Pilot Pants)! The were also common to other flight suits and pilot equipment.
Development of protective flight uniforms began during WW1, and continued into WW2. What developed were a 1-piece flight suit (2 for winter 1 for summer), which in 1936 developed into an electrically heated flight suit. This suit consisted of a one-piece jacket/pant combination with separate gloves and socks. The flight suits contained built-in insulated heating elements which connected directly to the aircraft's power supply. The early version was intended for cold weather flight, and was worn over the standard uniform. In July 1940, new regulations determined a 2-piece flight suit was to be manufactured. The 2-piece suit consisted of a separate jacket and pants, and was commonly referred to as the “channel jacket”.
Manufactured by Zipp, this RARE zipper is in VERY NICE used condition! Though it does show some very slight wear and marks, it is in almost PERFECT condition, with vibrant colors throughout. Measuring around 12 in length, there is some some slight corrosion on the metal fittings, but nothing that detracts. Guaranteed WW2 era and not post-war, it would make an EXCELLENT addition to complete any missing or broken zippers on your jacket or pants!
