As I understand yes - as the Flak Corp and other units were a part of the Luftwaffe. Also, given the size of the Luger - I have read that it was too bulky for most pilots, who preferred a smaller personal firearm. I think Bill M. also posted on this subject - or was in an e-mail to me? Bill M. - thoughts/comments???
