The flight helmets worn by US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps pilots, as well as the unique space helmets worn by NASA astronauts, have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Alan R. Breuninger to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 1996. This "JET AGE FLIGHT HELMETS" USAF USN USMC PILOT NASA ASTRONAUT REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured).
Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts an elegantly illustrated dust jacket over hardcovers, and sports 245 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of US Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps flight helmets from Korea through Vietnam and the Gulf War, Chinese, Russian, British, French, Canadian, and Swedish "bone domes", and NASA astronaut space helmets from Projects Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. It includes the entire USAF "P" series from the 1950s, the US Army Vietnam Huey helicopter pilot AFH-1, the US Navy/Marine Corps SPH-1, SPH-2, APH-6B, and HGU-20/P, US high altitude flight helmets from all branches of service, and many other classic "bone domes".
