The Rooster Posted September 17, 2020 Share #1 Posted September 17, 2020 Greetings all. Is this an early helicopter pilots helmet ? Reason I ask is that the seller said its a tankers CVC helmet. But, it does not look like any CVC Ive ever seen (Which is not definitive ) lol And with the word RESCUE across the front, I'm thinking this is a flight helmet. Also has the commo unit on the side with an eagle. And the boom mic setup is similar to helo helmets Ive seen. Tankers would not have rescue across the helmet. I seriously doubt ? Maybe DESTROY but not rescue. Maybe from the 50's ? Helicopter helmet ? Thoughts ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majormadmax Posted September 17, 2020 Share #2 Posted September 17, 2020 That's a Vietnam-era T56-6 CVC helmet, like this... http://www.livesteammodels.co.uk/dhmg/icoms3.html It could have been adopted by a pararescue jumper, but during that war they wore APH-4s, HGU-16A/P, and HGU-39/Ps primarily...

The Rooster Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share #3 Posted September 18, 2020 Thank you for clearing that up. It was the RESCUE on the front throwing me off. I just cant see that on a tankers helmet. Its kind of weird to me. No chin strap so I guess def not Para rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
