easterneagle87 Posted November 26, 2017 Share #1 Posted November 26, 2017 Saw this flight helmet, looks to be stamped USN. Color appears to be dark gray? What era is this from? Is it authentic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted November 26, 2017 Share #2 Posted November 26, 2017 Reminds me of the black helmets they wore under the gunner/talker helmets from WW2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72psb Posted November 26, 2017 Share #3 Posted November 26, 2017 Yep.Doyler is right.It's called a blast helmet worn under talker helmets.They all seem to be in great shape as most sailors hated wearing them,especially in the PTO.Often mistaken for a flight helmet.
