Flak helmet

We have a lengthy discussion on flak armor in the aviation section and thought I would share this series of photos here concerning ballistic testing by Malcolm Grow on experimental designs leading to the infamous "Grow" flak helmet.

Great photos, Dustin. I assume the one on the right is the M-4.. What is the one on the left? The German flak helmet?

 

You're doing a lot of digging in the Archives - will there be any new research forthcoming?

Unfortunately there was no accompanying text with the pictures except a strip of paper which said Malcolm Grow, ballistics ........the rest was illegible being a terrible cursive.
