Bugme Posted September 9, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 9, 2009 While there are many books available dealing with the subject of combat helmets on a world wide basis, there are relatively few written about U.S. helmets. So, below are some of the reference books written specifically about U.S. combat helmets. By posting these, I'm hoping to give everyone a one stop guide to U.S. helmet collecting reference books. If you have more books to add, please place them here. We are extremely fortunate to have several authors of these books on the USMF. So where appropriate, I have added their forum identification next to their name. So, first up is the book: Steel Pots by Chris Armold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugme Posted August 16, 2013 Author Share #15 Posted August 16, 2013 While not a book completely about helmets, Heroes In Our Midst by Jack Angolia & Jake Powers, has enough great Airborne helmet information in it to make it worth having as another resource for your helmet reference library.

Bugme Posted January 15, 2015 Author Share #18 Posted January 15, 2015 I've been hearing it in the winds, that there are some new books dealing with U.S. helmet on their way in the next year. Stay tuned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchangelDM Posted May 5, 2017 Share #19 Posted May 5, 2017 Maybe the forum could create a book , so much knowledge and great helmets on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugme Posted February 26, 2019 Author Share #20 Posted February 26, 2019 This new headgear book, A Gallery of Military Headdress by Peter Suciu and Stuart Bates is another nice resource. While it covers international military helmets, there is an entire section devoted to U.S. experimental helmets along with another section detailing the American Pickelhaub and horsehair plume helmets. The American Field Service Adrian is also featured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
