manayunkman Posted January 5, 2021 Share #4 Posted January 5, 2021 You see them worn by flight deck personnel on US aircraft carriers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vark_07 Posted January 5, 2021 Share #5 Posted January 5, 2021 I concur, this is definitely US-made (Greenbrier INC.), you can't be mistaken looking at the MFG label. This type of 2-part cranial shells was -and still is- in use mostly on US Navy Flight Deck crews, featuring their iconic color code (although the eye protection and audio may differ today). Found a picture of a Spanish Air Force ground crew wearing this type of protective shell. Nice find ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
