Ronnie Posted September 25, 2015 Share #3 Posted September 25, 2015 Those helmets....the M3's were painted blue and had an MHP decal on the front. I have one in my garage......somewhere. I don't remember ever seeing the MHP wearing M1's. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aef1917 Posted September 25, 2015 Share #4 Posted September 25, 2015 The officer to the left of the one wearing the M3 looks like he's wearing a Parish/Reading M1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 25, 2015 Share #5 Posted September 25, 2015 Very cool photo. I have a M3 on display in my office. Interesting to see it used post-war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B229 Posted September 25, 2015 Share #6 Posted September 25, 2015 Very cool photo. I have a M3 on display in my office. Interesting to see it used post-war. I'm assuming by "post-war" you mean post WWII. The USAAF flak helmets were also worn on a limited basis by tankers in the Korean War. There's some discussion of it here: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/154239-m-38-tankers-helmet-w-m-3-flak-helmet/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
