Hi everyone,

I need a little help finding info on Luftwaffe parachute flares, particularly the ones used by the pathfinders to illuminate targets during night time raids. If anyone can tell me what the Luftwaffe technical name was for them and where I might find specs on them as well, I sure would appreciate it.

Regards

Pls see attached. That parachute is from a LC50F and is in my collection.

Also, Snautzer, thank you for the uploads

What is the title of the book/pamphletP { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } the flare info came from ?
