NAM ERA USAF PILOTS HELMET. It is as found. This early USAF Jet Pilots helmet is solid/complete overall. It shows average use/wear and has been painted blue and trimmed with a reflective tape (see photos). The small footprints to the reverse and the names to each side are done in reflective tape as well (see photos). The helmet has an integral sunshade that operates properly and the closure spinner for its operation remains in place (see photos). Painting to the sunshade cover is somewhat crazed possibly from heat when it was stored (see photos). The receiver fittings for an oxygen mask are present to the sides and there is a pull buckle closure chinstrap with pad (see photos). There is also a strap across the back at the neck with a small pad (see photos). The interior has both earphones present but the rubber is somewhat worn and has small losses (see photos). All three interior pads remain in place and are securely attached (see photos). No size is indicated but the helmet appears to be a size medium and size could be adjusted with the removal or addition of extra padding. Microphone is present as found and wiring appears complete but lower coupling has been wrapped with electrical tape (see photos). No manufacturers is shown anywhere I can see but it may be painted over. This Nam era USAF Pilots helmet presents an excellent opportunity for the USAF gear collector. I don’t have any info on this Vet or know the significance of the small footprints although a friend thought it might have something to do with Air Rescue.
