WW II US Army Air Force Aircraft TYPE AN-H-15 FLIGHT HELMET VERY NICE
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. Made of a tan khaki cotton material, this flight helmet is in VERY NICE condition for its age! No rips or tears, and the earphones are 100% intact! Features an Army Air Forces stamp. No rust or corrosion on the metal fittings, however one snap is missing (see photo). Probably dating around 1945, i. T is marked as an EXTRA LARGE. Would make a PERFECT addition to any.
