Unknow High Altitude Helmet

[Lemon Cheung]

Hi, It looks like a NASA helmet. But it shows USAF.

Any one know about this type ?

U2 or SR 71 helmet?

On second look, it lacks any type of sunvisor mounting

 

here is something from worthpoint...says it's a "Research indicates this might be a SCAPE helmet (Self-Contained Atmospheric Protective Ensemble) used by nuclear missile silo crews for fueling and de-tanking the liquid propellants for the Titan series of missile launch vehicles."

Correct, I reckon. Here an image I took at the Titan Missile Museum in Arizona:

Thanks for your reply, I finally know its history. It's not a pilot helmet, but I still like it as one of the flight helmets in my collection.
