The elastic band still stretches but does appear to be a much later replacement. AN-6530 Goggles were produced during World War II as eye protection for United States Army and Navy flight crews. In 1943, the AN-6530 design replaced as standard the nearly identical USAAF B-7 goggle produced by Chas Fischer Spring Company of Brooklyn, New York. Contracts for AN-6530 goggles were awarded to Chas Fischer Spring Co. and American Optical.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn incredible U.S. Army Air Force summer khaki flying helmet set that comes ready for display!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe AN-H-15 helmet was introduced as the standard summer or light weight for the Army Air Force and Navy on April 23, 1943.

The helmet featured improved noise protection ear cups, making it easier for the pilot to hear the headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40203587813445,"sku":"ONSV22WOS42","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/products\/ONSV22WOS42__02.jpg?v=1658326906","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-wwii-army-air-force-aviator-an-6540-35-flight-helmet-with-goggles-anb-h-1-receivers-helmet-by-slotte-klein-1","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
