Original Items: Only One Set Available. Purchased at a private auction recently. this is a wonderful WWII U.S.A.A.F. aviator set in great condition. It is comprised of the following items-
- WWII Private-Purchase Aviator Goggles with green tinted lenses by American Optical Company. The goggles are in very good condition, and are an upmarket version of the standard issue. They still have their original rubber gaskets with calf-skin leather padding, and the lenses are excellent. The rubber gaskets are a bit stiff, however the original elastic head band is still stretchy, and retains its color very well.
- WWII USAAF Khaki Summer weight flight helmet type AN-H-15 made by BATES SHOE CO. in Size LARGE offered in very good condition. The helmet does not appear to have been work much. Chin strap is intact and excellent, and all markings are visible. The calf-skin lined areas are very nice, and all of the snaps are still attached.
An incredible excellent condition U.S. Army Air Force leather flying helmet set set that will not be encountered again! Ready to display!
The AN-H-15 helmet was introduced as the standard summer or light weight for the Army Air Force and Navy on April 23, 1943. It served as the replacement for the Type A-9 flying helmet. It was the first flying helmet designed under the joint Army/Navy procurement program. It is able to interface with various different headphone receivers. The helmet featured improved noise protection ear cups, making it easier for the pilot to hear the headphones.
