wleoff Posted January 10, 2009 Share #1 Posted January 10, 2009 At least that's what I've been told. I found the mask in the same box with the aeronautics first aid kit. The mask is made out of chamois and is quite warm, but I wouldn't wear it on the street. Does anyone know where/when this was used? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
37thguy Posted January 10, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 10, 2009 Think it's a cold weather face mask/protector? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayhawkhenry Posted January 10, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 10, 2009 Issued in WWII. These were to be used by flight crews in high altitude cold conditions. I am not sure how much use they actually received. They may have also been used in arctic conditions. A nice addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robinb Posted January 10, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 10, 2009 It was issued to ski troops as a face protector. The AAF had an OD felt face proector that was semi-rigid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted January 10, 2009 Share #5 Posted January 10, 2009 One of these masks appears in GI Collector Guide VOL 2 and has a readable tag. Usually the tags are washed out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
