Aided by a ground crew man holding the seat belts, an Italian fighter pilot boarding on its Fiat G.50. The dress of pilot and of ground crew man indicate a cold climate, perhaps that Italian fighter pilot boarding of Balkans in autumn or winter. Well-rendered the fascist emblem (Fascio Littorio) under the cockpit. Victor Sierra

Yes, at the time the seat of Italian planes had a chair back with a recess for the parachute (Salvator type designed by Prospero Freri, the “vasca” (“bathtube”)in the pilot’s slang with no problems for the comfort. Many years ago I flew in glider with the Salvator parachute with no problems. Thank you for your comment.Best regards, Victor Sierra
