Major Werner Molders, a leading fighter ace in the German Air Force, 1941. He wears the Fliegermutze and a non-issue black leather flying jacket with a self-inflating life jacket over it, and Oberlieutnant Erich Hartman serving with Jagdgeschwader 52 in 1944.
The two Japanese pilots are dressed as a Captain, Japanese Air Force, 1943, with both having flight suit and parachute harness. The first figure is in the process of clambering in or out of his aircraft, has the parachute seat pack which his colleague lacks, and so is ready for immediate action. The other man has the flaps of his flying helmet clearly visible, which may be a fur-lined winter version.
The next figure wears a field cap and a jacket (something like an A-2) and what look like ordinary uniform trousers. I have used one as Sergeant Harold Oliver of Royal Air Force Coastal Command, 1943. He is shown wearing a sidecap, Frock White polo sweater, Irvin sheepskin jacket and pre-war flying suit.
Alternatively the figure could be used for a Captain (P-51B pilot), US Army Air Force, 1944. He has the sidecap, brown leather flying jacket over OD trousers.
The second man wears a flying helmet and life jacket, and presumably a flying suit although this is without any details such as pockets and openings, so its identity is unclear. This may be suitable for an Aircrewman, US Army Air Force, 1944. He wears olive green flying overalls and a flak-suit.
