A grim reminder of the Cold War nuclear threat, the MB-3 helmet 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example appears to have been heavily used but remains in very good displayable condition. It is complete with the H-149\/AIC Headset but not the cord, and the foam padding for the ears is broken on both sides with foam residue coming out. The foam is dry and crumbling as shown, but the helmet is overall solid. Chin strap is complete and all snaps work.
