	Flak jackets vs. bulletproof vests. - By Brendan I. Koerner - Slate Magazine
		During the Korean War, when these flak jackets were first used en masse, an Army report concluded that the vests reduced the number of chest, back, and abdomen wounds by up to 70 percent.
		Flak jackets, however, were far less effective at stopping arms fire, especially from rifles.
		Even without the plates in the pouches, the flak jacket is supposedly strong enough to stop a 9 mm bullet, meaning it's at least somewhat worthy of being called a bulletproof vest.

	German Anti-aircraft Flak
		The Germans produced an incredible number of Fliegerabwehrkanone or "Flak" guns to protect their troops in the field and eventually to provide a moderately effective system of radar directed Flak and searchlight systems to protect their major industrial cities, in particular those of the Ruhr valley.
		Flak was the nightmare of bomber crews as it wasn't predictable, you couldn't see it coming and if you swerved to avoid the bursts in front, you could just as easily fly into the next set of shells.
		The 37 mm medium Flak guns were served by 7 or 8 men and were towed behind a truck or the German version of a half-track.

	The Gadgeteer - Flak Jacket Case for the Compaq iPAQ Review Update
		The fl case is the new CF/PC Flak Jacket, and the brown is the new Executive Slim Line case for the naked iPAQ.
		Evidently, I was not the only one that the large logo didn't appeal to, and Flak Jacket is now embossing a much more sedate version of their brand on the inside cover of the wallet portion of the CF/PC case.
		Opening the front cover of the Flak Jacket reveals a wallet section with three pockets perfect for holding business cards or ID. There are two horizontal pockets, with one vertical pocket behind them.

	Achtung Panzer! - 88mm Flak Series

		Flak 18 was transported using lighter trailer (Sonderanhaenger 201) and was lighter in transport than later models, which used Sonderanhaenger 202 by 1200kg.

	missing-lynx.com - Think Tank - Flak – from a modeller's viewpoint
		Mobile Flak like the tracked Wirbelwind or other wheeled Flak vehicles were primarily used to protect moving vulnerable points like truck convoys or larger travelling units like Panzer divisions or infantry divisions.
		If a Flak unit was intended to stay in a certain position for several days or longer, the crews usually started the construction of fieldworks for protection of both the gun and the crew.
		The alarm (Flak alarm) for specific areas in the predicted flight path of enemy intruders was often raised in advance by telephone or radio from command and control headquarters.

	III. Flak-Korps
		The longer range of the 8,8 cm Flak gun compared to the 7,5 cm AT gun was of course an advantage, but at longer range, accuracy declines for all guns, even the 8,8 cm gun.
		The fact that the 8,8 cm Flak was not suitable for anti-tank misisons was also clearly recognized by the commanders and men serving in the III.
		With the introduction of the 7,5 cm Pak 40, the superiority of the 8,8 cm Flak 36 was relatively marginal.
