Well Mike, You seem to get it all wrong in what I am saying I am not saying short cables never exist, but only that they are (if attributed) not typical and not typical to fighter. The fact is that in most actual collections/makets/shows they seems to be all over speaks for itself, if one can't see that - fine and end of the story. I am the first to recognize and to applaude everytime you find a pic (really) but 2 or 3 pics (in my eyes) will never make it "typical item" and certainly not "typical fighter". Showing the shoes would have shown flying boots or special mechanic boots or civilian shoes in case of an ingeneer or a test pilot.

Seems to me a T-shirt with a mechanic overall,not especially german and doubtfully WWII - but I can be wrong Sad we can't see the shoes

Not that sure I ever mention it is unquestionable, but Mike or Jos can post the photo here of the one I got on ebay for more opinions. Concerning what I think: A) I would really be pleased to see one or more pics showing short cables (not only for the mesh ones). B) As highlighted by Jos in the first post, maths make the difference and if for 2/3 pictures showing a short cable we have 10000 pics showing a long one, if most of the "typical fighter" offered on the market have short cable ........... each collector can make his own opinion and that is what is fine with this: we can disagree without calling each other with bird names. At the end, as I don't have one short cable in my collection, I don't need to prove anything, meaning that if I had one I would probably try to be more persuasive.

More than a close up, I am a little bit confused by the picture, doesn't seem to be a pilot in a WW2 german uniform and ..... I don't know ..... is it a WW2 photo?

Thanks, both your text AND the photo make it
