FW190 oxygen

[POLSA230]

Has any member any knowledge upon the use of oxgen by FW190 pilots flying single sorties to the UK from France. I am wondering if they refrained from going high enough, and what height the requirement for oxygen would be.

Thank you for your thoughts.

I'm guessing in WWII above 12,000ft O2 would be used.

When you say "refrained from going high" are you referring to low altitude attacks which kept them under the radar?


Here's current FAA Regs. on oxygen use.

Mike.

Most interesting link thank you for that. Yes I was wondering if the tip and run type of raids were conducted at a low level which avoided radar if possible. Thus no need to use oxygen.
