bazelot Posted June 10, 2014 Author Share #611 Posted June 10, 2014 One helmet that I have had for while is this late WWII / Korean war nylon flight helmet. I love it because it unique. It was 100% rigger made. It is a huge size so I assume that is the reason why it was made from scratch. It is made of extremely thick nylon material (way thicker than the the late war green nylon Navy version. The oxy snap that came with it is post war but the helmet could have been made at any time between 1944 and the Korean war. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazelot Posted June 11, 2014 Author Share #621 Posted June 11, 2014 M-5/UR lip mic with juliet to hold it in place. Usually a juliet would be rigger made for the oxygen mask. This one is the only one I have seen made for the M-5/UR lip mic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
