dustin Posted May 13, 2017 Share #1 Posted May 13, 2017 I thought this was a bit of a neat image illustrating the basic evolution of WWII oxygen masks as of November 1943. From L to R, Type A-7, Type A-8, Type A-8B, Type A-10 Revised, Type A-14. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Flick Posted May 13, 2017 Share #2 Posted May 13, 2017 That's a cool pic, Dustin. Pretty much everything in WW2 O2 masks from A to Z. Regards, Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted May 13, 2017 To continue along the lineage, illustrated is the Type H-1 emergency bailout bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share #4 Posted May 13, 2017 The the revised H-2, which requires an adapter for the oxygen mask hose. The image with the individual kneeling is an immediate post war but illustrates the same WWII bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustin Posted May 13, 2017 Author Share #5 Posted May 13, 2017 Then there we walk around bottles, Type A-4 (top) and the Type D-2 (Bottom). Again the bottom image is an immediate post war image but same WWII bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cepilot Posted August 10, 2017 Share #8 Posted August 10, 2017 I just aquired a A-7 mask ( been looking for one for ages !) But I've never seen a A-8 with the single foam exhalation port .. Have several of the A-8-B's in my collection .. so now I need to go after one of those .. anybody ever see one come up for sale ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
