Very nice and collectible helmet acquired in England. Helmet could stand a good cleaning and has some spots throughout. As stated below in my “cited” narrative, the interior foam padding of the helmet is sound, but is crumbling and needs to be handled accordingly. I borrowed the description from another site, but the narrative below is 100% accurate.. The MB-3 helmet with H-149/AIC Headset was designed for comfort and protection for the earliest crews flying the B-52 Stratofortress on round-the-clock missions carrying nuclear missiles in the event of a strike ever being necessary. Made from white leather (white was supposed to be reflective in the event of a nuclear blast) with a hard shell that was padded with foam rubber, the helmet could also be fitted with a detachable bill for protection against the sun. This example also features a blue USAF logo. This example appears to have been lightly used but remains in very good displayable condition. It is complete with the H-149/AIC Headset but not the cord. PLEASE NOTE: The foam is dry and crumbling slightly, but overall solid. Chin strap is complete and all snaps work. Retains original data label to the interior that reads: Helmet, Flying Protective / H-149/AIC Headset / Type MB-3 / Aviators Equipment Corp.
