Item Description
Original Items: Only One Available. This is a 1956-1964 USN size MEDIUM Gentex H-4 helmet that comes with the correct M-87/A1C boom mic. Helmet features original gold paint with USN/USMC Aviator wings to front. All parts are in good to very good condition.
This is a very nice display set!
The H-4 features a rigid shell with reinforcing ridges and is constructed of a fiberglass cloth reinforced with epoxy resin. For this model a cloth inner helmet which incorporates the earphones was utilized. This was secured to the rigid shell by "pull the dot" snap fasteners on the cheek flaps and in some cases with additional straps attached to snap fastener in front and in the back of the rigid shell.
The H-4 was often equipped with a boom mounted microphone M-6A/UR to be used below 10.000 feet. Above this altitude an A-13A or A-14 or MBU-3/P oxygen mask were used. Black rubber goggles B-8 (not included) with modified straps would be attached to snaps placed on the sides of the helmet shell below the adjustment webbing. The H-4 was used by USN and USMC pilots in the middle of the 50s into the early 60s, and during this time a multitude of different configurations were used.
