In four short years, the US Army Air Forces grew from a small air service to a mighty armada that swept the Luftwaffe from the skies, and was capable of projecting force on a global scale. AAF pilots of WW2 were issued the classic AN-H-15 khaki cotton flight helmet for wear in warm weather. This US Army AAF WW2 PILOT AN-H-15 KHAKI COTTON FLIGHT HELMET is in excellent condition, with a small spot of whitish and dark soiling at the middle front "bill", a spot of brownish soiling at the front left crown, and with some light scattered age wear evident (ALL pictured).

Otherwise, the helmet is in excellent shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the crisp khaki 100% cotton construction. Most interestingly, it's a Size Small, bears the classic "winged star" outline stamping of the "ARMY AIR FORCES" at the left crown, the interior right crown, and on the chamois lining at the underside of the front "bill". And carries the original AN-H-15 / BATES SHOE CO.

Traditional black rubber ear cups with chamois "donut" interior ear pads, sports the familiar velour padded brown leather chinstrap, and features a strip of 4 black leather backed darkened brass "male" snaps at each side of the front, along with a single "male" snap at the lower left side. It exhibits all three brown leather goggle retention straps at back, and is a beautiful example of a rare, original.
