CavalryCombatant Posted January 15, 2022 Share #4 Posted January 15, 2022 Color me jealous, still have to find one or two of those myself. Gorgeous helmets! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GITom1944 Posted January 16, 2022 Share #5 Posted January 16, 2022 Both are beutimous! Rare types in great shape! You may already have this info, but it looks like the guy who wore the Hood Rubber helmet in WW2 was a P-40 pilot in the Aleutians. https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/19533585/henry-warfield-yellott Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogsbody Posted January 16, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 16, 2022 Excellent. Looks like the Hood has a one of the rarer vinyl headbands installed (which seemed to happen at that time). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That explains the top condition of the helmet. I have owned others that were issued to pilots. Always had little wear. I did not have that info and I am extremely grateful to you for taking the time to provide it. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
