Picked this one up at the flea market today.  I know very little about these.  Marked Gentex.   It has two lenses, but I'm not sure how to get them down, and didn't wanna force them.  Has a March 1991 date on back.  I'm guessing this is Gulf War era.  Is it for helicopters or planes?   Thanks for any help!

It is an SPH-5 helicopter helmet. Replaced by the HGU-56.

Small knob,push down and forward to latch into the metal grooves.

Big knob, loosen and slide down to desired distance then lightly tighten.
