SammyT Posted December 2, 2024 Author #5 Posted December 2, 2024 thanks 268th C.A. I'm assuming no true model #, just Lewis flight helmet? Sammy T
268th C.A. Posted December 2, 2024 #6 Posted December 2, 2024 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
pararaftanr2 Posted December 10, 2024 #8 Posted December 10, 2024 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.
