BACKGROUND:
Development o...f protective flight goggles began with the advent of military aircraft during WWI and further improvements and refinements continued in the inter-war years. In the early 1930's the German firm, Nitsche & Günther designed splinter proof goggles that were based on a splinter proof goggle pattern that was developed by the British Triplex firm late in WWI.
During WWII the Luftwaffe utilized a wide variety of protective goggles which all followed the same basic design and on August 3RD 1940 the Nitsche & Günther splinter proof goggles were officially adopted for wear.
Regulations of May 20TH 1942 introduced tinted lenses for these goggles and additional regulations in 1944 introduced a three piece frame with adjustable nose bridge to provide a better fit.
HISTORY:
Nitsche & Gunther Splitterschutzbrille Flying Goggles - Designed by the Luftwaffe medical expert Dr Knothe to provide eye protection to aircrew and reduce the chances of injury from splinter damage caused by shrapnel.
This was achieved by the curvature of the lenses. This is a late war example, introduced into service in 1943 with the frame being moulded in three sections with a hinged bridge over the nose and they look particularly good with the tinted lenses fitted which are also in great shape.
Today some good copies of these goggles manufactured in Czechoslovakia are available on the market we have checked these in detail and are happy to guarantee them as original.
