First full pressure suit.
This pressure suit was designed and built by Spanish Colonel Don Emilio Herrera Linares in 1934 and 1935. He was going to use it in an open balloon which he want to fly into the stratosphere. This would have been higher than any one else had flown at that time. This effort was canceled when the Spanish Civil War started in 1936. Although this war was a disaster for millions of people it may have save the colonel's life as many things could have gone wrong on his planned flight.
