Sabrejet Posted October 20, 2013 Share #2 Posted October 20, 2013 That is positively medieval in both concept and appearance. It's described in one of Sweeting's books. Didn't get beyond the experimental stage as it was found to be both cumbersome and uncomfortable to wear. No surprises there then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOLO Posted October 20, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted October 20, 2013 it does look like a midieval appearance, the thick woolen collar on his leather bomber jacket also looks like it would also protect the neck from shrapnel Ive been in a B17 bomber before and the body is made of paper thin sheets of aluminum riveted together , flak would go through like punching holes through paper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
