Hey guys, I bought this liner a while ago and I wanted to know what your thoughts on it are. It has 444th air police written on the front and Hartman written on the back with chalk I assume. Posted ImagePosted ImagePosted Image

Bringing this one back up as Im curious to what this could be. Is the 444th AP even a real unit? Perhaps this was done for someones kid?

I don't think it is a child marked or otherwise made up helmet...Air Police is a pretty specific term used for a brief time in Air Force history...1947-1966 or there abouts...

 

Would be interesting if the unit history folks would chime in on the 444th AP...

Don't know if this helps... I looked up 444th Air Police in Newspapers.com & came upon a 1946 article about the 444th Bomb Group at Davis-Monthan being considered for a proposed United Nations "police force." Maybe the original wearer was referring to this in a tongue-in-cheek way?

Thats very interesting Tom. Thank you for sharing that. It would be very cool if my liner was actually a part of that unit.
