This was the standard WW2 unwired summer helmet for use by aircrew for primary training as well as for combat crew positions where no communication was necessary. These were also used by single engine fighter pilots early on during the Blitzkrieg in 1939/40. It is interesting by mid war virtually all crew positions required radio contact this helmet is documented in manufacture certainly until 1943 with later examples carrying the provision for attaching two and three point oxygen mask. A uncommon flight helmet which would be a super addition to any collection!
Condition report: has minimal wear and marks. Has no makers name on the label, which is common and the buckles have surface rust. Personally, I think this is a brilliant example.
