Hi, I'm having trouble identifying this WWII US flight cap.   Can anyone identify this particular model?

 

 

Thanks.

thanks 268th C.A.      I'm assuming no true model #, just Lewis flight helmet?

I've heard them simply referred to as Gosport's by the old pilots.  

type in Gosport's there is another thread here on them

They were used by the US Navy for training aviation cadets. Shown as "Gosport Helmet (37-H-7)" in the aviation supply catalog into 1944 before being replaced.
