bazelot Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share #209 Posted July 28, 2011 Jerry, thank you for posting those awesome pictures. I am amazed at all the pics you can posts!!!! I have a quick question regarding the left sided TH37, why would they not just flip the receivers instead of putting the cord upside down. I have TH37 headset where the dongle is on the left but not upside down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazelot Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share #210 Posted July 28, 2011 The latest addition to the collection. A mirabelli M-450 modified to accommodate the pilot's fat head . It has a anchor pin on the side, probably the pilot's lucky charm. It earcups are 2 different colors. It looks like the brown one was replaced at a later date (this helmet must have seen quite a lot of flying time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerry_k Posted July 28, 2011 Share #211 Posted July 28, 2011 I could have this helmet DAMNNNN but Im happy that it went to good home ! Helmet looks amazing especially it is manufactured by G.Mirabeli and with nice custom modification I answered you at PM on your question:) it is impossible change the cord from left side to right side becouse each plug in cord fit to correct hole in receivers marked + and -. Left sided TH-37 were made for Radioman probably from Avenger, His possition in plane need left sided cord, probably the communications device was at left side. I noticed some photos also with right side TH-37 at left side used by Avenger Radioman. Take care, Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flight helmets 522 Posted August 12, 2011 Share #222 Posted August 12, 2011 Does anyone have pictures of WWII Navy pilots wearing AAF flight helmets? I have a short "thread", if you will, with another forum member a few months back, where I started with a topic of "Unusual Combination of Helmets and Goggles". We took turns adding photos for a while. He put a couple pics of Navy, or Marine pilots, wearing army helmets or goggles. One was a Corsair pilot wearing an RAF Type C helmet, which was widely used by AAF pilots in the ETO. The other was a Navy patrol pilot wearing an AAF B-6 helmet and American Optical Airway goggles and a mixture of AAF and Navy kit. I tried to copy and paste to this, but couldn't. You should be able to go back in mine and find it. Phil. Here's one. Note the TH-37s with the AAF B-6 helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
