Rare Balloon Observers Escape Trousers, a highly unusual piece of aviation equipment being what is in effect a pair of field grey heavily corded ¾ length shorts to which is affixed a canvas and rope harness with lovely old German script label attached by string, which reads ‘fliegerhose’. Unfortunately Michael Baldwin passed away before he could complete his own description for Feldzug 18 of the exact designation of this rare piece of equipment, however we can only assume they are a form of an escape equipment for a fixed balloon whereby a rope would be secured inside the basket and to the large metallic clip on the harness where if the balloon was hit the observer was able to jump before the balloon completely deflated. One other theory is they could have been worn by aviators with an early rudimentary parachute affixed to the harness, the trousers are constructed in the identical cloth as a full size WW1 German flying suit shown in “German” Arms by Krause.
