A few of my WWII Naval aviator helmets

[bazelot]

As you all know my primary interest now lies with WWII Naval aviator flight helmets. I recently purchased some really nice and rare ones. Just wanted to share them with you guys.

1/ Extremely rare setup named to a Lt. THis is a deck helmet with rubber sponge earcups in amazing condition. You don't see too many of those around anymore.

Now an ace setup. This helmet belonged to Wallace Johnson who got 6 kills with the famed VF-15

Another one. Late war setup customized with red trims. I love customized helmets. I just wish it could talk!

Another interesting setup. M-450 helmet customized with Popeye artwork on both sides. This setup came with the popeye pipe from the pilot:
