They're first generation Nuffield Pattern Escape Boots, this gen is pretty rare to find so you'll need to keep an eye on auctions. Can find some 1943 style escape boots (zipper on the side more) as they're common.
It is! And it was directed by a very young Alfred Hitchcock! There are 5 novels featuring the character Richard Hannay. 39 Steps is the first, Greenmantle is the second. They were very popular in their day. 39 Steps is the only one made into a movie though?
Id love this to be during the Battle of Britain, and the pilot to then say “well mate, those were some nice 10 minutes of rest, time to shoot down some bloody Germans”
