Original U.S. WWII USAAF Bomber Crew M5 Steel FLAK Helmet Used in Apple TV Series “Masters of the Air”
-
Original Item. Only One Available. Masters of the Air is a 2024 American war drama miniseries created by John Shiban and John Orloff for Apple TV+. It is based on the 2007 book of the same name by Donald L. Miller and follows the actions of the 100th Bomb Group, a Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress heavy bomber unit in the Eighth Air Force in eastern England during World War II. The series is the final of three companion piece miniseries, following Band of Brothers (2001) and The Pacific (2010), and is the only one not to air on HBO. It is the first series to be produced by Apple Studios in cooperation with Playtone and Amblin Television and stars Austin Butler, Callum Turner and Anthony Boyle as part of an ensemble cast. The series consists of nine episodes.
This is a good original WWII M5 steel flak helmet which may have been fitted with a reproduction liner for use during “Masters of the Air”. The suspension is stamped “PARATROOPER WARDROBE” and the exterior retains much of the original “flocking”. The chinstrap is broken on one side and very heavily cracking on the other side.
There is minor oxidation to the surface of the ear covers, but the helmet is in good overall condition.
