Original Items: Only One Set Available. Now this is a very attractive, iconic set of US Military flight gear from WWII. Just recently acquired from a private collection, this is a wonderful “kickstart” set for the younger collector looking for a place to start!

The items in this set:

- WWII USAAF Leather flight helmet type A-11: The helmet is in wonderful condition and is named to (2) different individuals, making for an excellent research opportunity. The tag is still present and states the helmet is a size medium and still retains all mostly legible markings. The helmet is marked with laundry number L-2567 which we believe to be for Howard W. Lauck, an enlisted man. Another name present on both the interior and chinstrap is unknown Officer Byron N. Linden O-782567.

- Original British WWII RAF Mk VIII Goggles: Beautiful set of WW2 issue Mark VIII (MK8) flying goggles type 22C/930.The MkVIII goggles were the final and most successful of the RAF issue flying goggles during the Second World War. Introduced officially in October 1943, they were not supplied to aircrew until the earlier stocks were exhausted. The MkVIII's continued in RAF service until made obsolete by the introduction of fibreglass helmets fitted with drop-down visors. They are authentic British WW2 fighter pilot goggles as used by Spitfire and Hurricane pilots. Suede lined with elastic cotton adjustable strap. Complete with an original RAF dark blue paint finish to steel parts, these are rare WW2 RAF fighter pilot goggles. Offered in service worn condition.

- USAAF Oxygen Mask Type A-14 manufactured by Ohio Chemical: Size small and offered in wonderful condition.

An incredibly beautiful U.S. Army Air Force leather flying helmet set that will display wonderfully!
