The Americans didn't use it, as they had the A14 at that time (43-45) and it certainly wasn't available to the German fighterpilots.. Strange

Well picked up Richard, you are a clever and knowledgeable cat! Reason is I am making this movie privately with a low budget and could not get hold of a German oxygen mask....there are a few available on the net but I am not prepared to pay $4800 for it! ( http://www.germanmilitaria.com/Luftwaff ... 09361.html ) I tried to make one up that was ok for far away shots but looked horrible with close-ups.

Same story with ww2 US oxygen mask of ww2 @ $450 (A13 http://www.bellsaviation.com/mm5/mercha ... ry_Code=OM)

I hope that this will not be a large distraction to the viewers and my opinion is that 90% of people watching this movie will not even pick it up......even the best of the best Hollywood war movies use look-a-like props that are not authentic because of cost and availability reasons.
