Hi guys,its been a while and have been very busy with the company but there is a new helmet that i received from the daughter of LTCOL "JUHRS" William Albert.

He served as a fighter pilot in the Army Air Corps and in the United States Air Force during World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. During the Cuban Conflict, he took pictures over Cuba. And, between wars, he served as a test pilot. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary achievement, while participating in aerial fight, on October 17th, 1952.

I think this is a HGU-2/p and with a MBU-5 oxygen mask?

The HGU-2A/P helmet appears to be from 1966 or a little later and made by Land Mfr. The MBU-5/P mask appears to be an early

version made by Sierra.
