I have been collecting helmets for over 45 years, and my first mentor was Charles Yust. When I met him, he was in his 90's, and he had been collecting since just after WW I. His collection consisted of thousands of helmets, including many one of a kind items.

Charles was a great source of info before the internet.

Did anyone else know Charles Yust?
