Period: Used after its production in 1937 and into the Second World War by the German Luftwaffe airforce. Utilisé après sa production en 1937 jusque dans la Seconde Guerre Mondiale par la Luftwaffe allemande.
Canada: 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: A spare replacement lens used to fit into pilot aviator flight goggles. Une lentille de rechange utilisé pour être inséré avec des lunettes d'aviateur.
Technical: Model 295 has several interesting features including a chin strap (although missing from this pair) to keep them on in the high winds and slip stream, and each lens housing have nine, small ventilation ports to prevent them from fogging up. Le modèle 295 a certaines fonctionnalités intéressantes incluant une mentonnière (par contre pas inclue avec ces lunettes) pour les sécuriser lors de grands vents et sillage de l'hélice et chaque lentille a neuf petits trous de ventilations pour prévenir l'embuage.
