-
Goggles were (and still are) used by aviators all over the world, especially when flying in open cockpits or as aircrew required to be near open windows (ie: waist gunners). The Auer 295s were used by German aviators in the early part of the Second World War. Les lunettes étaient (et le sont encore) utilisés par des aviateurs à travers le monde, particulièrement lorsqu'ils vol dans des cockpits ouverts ou lorsque l'équipage devait être situé prêt de fenêtre ouvert (mitrailleur central). Le modèle 295 par Auer a été utilisé par des aviateurs allemands dans les premières années de la Seconde Guerre mondiale. - Function
