      It’s probably an early KW liner, I’m guessing it had the ww2 configuration, with OD7 webbing.

      Beautiful collection, I only wish I could find more USN aviation related stuff over here and you are weakening me to venture into more pacific related pieces.

      Pictures would help a ton, I have had westinghouse/capac liners rewebbed with wartime liner components, some completely and others just the odd bit replaced or repaired with. They even had early 50s USAF decals on the sides too, tons of oddities out there kicking about on airbases over here that gradually filtered out into the world again.

      Still is a super nice helmet. Will for sure be my go to for displays and events in the future.

      There’s a topic on here from a long time ago on it, but here’s a close up.

      Did you get any picture? I'm no expert on liners but I think it could easily be identified. My current guess would just be its a post war liner that someone put the WW2 webbing in (Either leftover, Repro, etc)

      That is truly amazing. Reminds me of Needles, CA.

      It is super awesome, My first m1 was a post war I think Vietnam that @Gear Fanatic fixed up and turned it into a WWII AAA-O 2 panel medic for me. And then the one (I thought was untouched) Was my first front seam.

      I have kind of followed to story of Lady be Good since I watched "Lone Survivor" on CBS when I was a kid. When first found by the British in the late 1950's, she was in pretty good shape, in-fact all of the guns were in place as well as all of the gear, there was some structural damage from the crash.  I remember the published pictures of the crew's clothing lying out in the desert, like it had just happened. Even included some of their paper items blowing around.
