NEW FIND P-4B helmet VOODOO

[Niki]

Hi all,

 

This weekend was the biggest militaria fair in Belgium at the village Ciney and had a blast with the things i have found.

Found some great items to complete missing items on my two SRU-21 vest included two PRC90 radio's that i was looking for.

Also lots of nice russian gear and flight helmets but i cant put picts on the forum so sorry for my eyes only .

I found two flight helmets that i think are great ,first a P-4B from a VOODOO pilot named CAPT. NEWPORT who flow with the 4756th AIR DEFENCE WING.

Hope that this helmet is legit and not a mock up from a little kind who put stickers on it.

 

Any help on this helmet would be great thx.

 

niki.

Nice helmet..clean and dig the decals...

The helmet looks to be original. Strategic Air Command had blue/white decals for flight helmets and I have seen a few other P

series flight helmets with decals. Nice find.

Hi,

 

Thanks for watching.

 

Can anybody tell me what kind of oxygen mask i can put on his helmet? a MBU-5 with christmastree bajonettes?

[northcoastaero]

I would guess the mask would be an MBU-3/P, a variant of the MS-22001. The mask would be modified with the Hardman hard shell with

Christmas tree bayonets. What is the date of manufacture on the helmet?

[Niki]

The date is aug. 3 ,1959.

Great piece !!!

 

Voodoo decal is original, for sure !

 

I have seen such artwork on a P-4 sold on eBay

 

As said, an MBU-3/P would be great !

Okay thanks on the info for the oxygen mask.

I have a nice MBU-3/P but it has the connections of the WW 2 with buttons on one side and a snap clip on the other side.

How can i change this mask into the mask with the christmastree bajonettes?

[Ultra Hog]

This is an old MS22001, not MBU-3/P !

 

It will be a crime to make surgery on that mask.

 

Go & find a MS22001 facepiece without anything upon (eBay, there's 2) & add a hardshell with Christmas tree bayo !

Great helmet - thanks for sharing pictures.

 

Did you find a oxygen mask to match with it?

 

If you consider selling and making a few bucks let me know!

[Niki]

No ,Still looking for the oxygen mask but i have time to look for one.

I will not sell it beqause its hard to find these helmets with decals and its the first time i saw these decals on a P-4 flight helmet.

I payed 400 euro for it so i think it was to many but where can you find these helmet in this condition now a days?
