Jasta Boelcke Jacket
Here is a quick shot of one of two flying jackets of Leutnant Robert Strey of Jasta 'B', who had earlier scored a couple of victories with Jasta 25 in Macedonia. We often see fake or questionable jackets, this one came from the family many years ago, and has a tailor's label inside the inside pocket identifying the wearer and unit. It is a typical Kraftfahrtruppen issue which has been upgraded with Prussian officer's buttons and a beaver skin collar.
