US WWII, USAAF Type A-11 Flight Helmet, Electronics & An-6530 Goggle Set
Item #58466 : Original period manufacture. Brown leather flying helmet, chamois lined with black rubber ear cups. Clear makers tag on the interior stating the size as Large and the maker as the Fox Chase Knitting Mills Inc, Property of AF US Army. The helmet is fitted with a pair of ANB-H-1 receivers and cord with a PL-354 jack plug. Stenciled inside the interior of the helmet is the original owners property stamp, C9960, being the first letter of his last name, and the last four digits of his service number. Honest service use, no damage. With the helmet at the time of our purchase were this pair of period AN-6530 goggles which had a broken left lens. We have a number of period original replacement lens sets in stock, so we did a little field repair on them and they look just fine now. Light gray rubber face pad with a tan elastic cloth head strap. The pads show age wear and cracking, however the chamois lining is intact. These are fine for display. The head strap has dried out over time, but is not crumbling and pulled out of shape. Classic WWII Army Air Corps Aviator's flying helmet.
