In addition to the listed links above there are also Flying goggles, an Oxygen mask + radio equipment and a flying helmet as well. However, I have yet to find links for these, the Flying helmet I would recommend buying from Sefton Flying clothing along with the oxygen mask and radio equipment. As for Flying goggles, MK2, 3, 4 and 4B were all present in the Battle of Britain and therefore can all be used.

Pilots Canvas Holdall - by Soldiers of Fortune
MKV GSR Gas Mask and MKVII Haversack - by Soldiers of Fortune
