bazelot Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share #1435 Posted June 3, 2019 Latest setup. Just got this one. Beautiful modified M-450 with acoustic earcups and TH37 receivers. Grouping came with the original goggles, leggings, patches and a copy of all the pages of his log book. Log book shows wartime flights in VMSB-343, as a gunner in SBD Dauntless and SB2C Helldiver aircraft. Shows him flying as the gunner from Midway Island, doing escort, strafing, night glide bombing, patrol, sub cover, search, diving bombing, and more. The Sergeant rank was theater made and very interesting. I do not collect ranks but this one was made from scratch, was it common to do that in combat areas? Link to post Share on other sites

dustin Posted June 9, 2019 Share #1446 Posted June 9, 2019 To juice up the pot to an already fine thread I've gone through my photo archive and pulled out some select images of a variety of flight helmets. The first eight images are all one squadron and each helmet worn is different illustrating the uncomformity to all. Visit: https://wwiisurvivalequipment.com/ Link to post Share on other sites
