Need advice on USAAF and RAF flight helmet, goggles, and oxygen mask.

Steve Silburn does top work, he made some nice A-2's back in the day.

Original D masks in good condition are starting at $5k. Like you, I have always wanted a BoB flight helmet set up. A few years back, I bought a nice original B helmet, MkIII goggles and went to Sefton for the mask, wiring and O2 hose. here is what it looks like. As mentioned, his attention to detail is fantastic. Still expensive, but quality is unparalleled. Kevin

the most fun i get out of visiting this forum is seeing other people who get obsessed with obscure items and acquire all that niche knowledge about them, like myself.
I have a thing about german WW2 crusher caps, but these flight helmets are also just....WOW!
New things to get lost in. Thx, guys!

If only I had the foresight to keep hold of all the gear I had, there again we are, or should be, but temporary guardians....

Halcyon make nice reproduction goggles too.

The type A-11 helmet looks very clean and in good condition and as a bonus it is a "large" size.
The type A-14 oxygen mask is a little cracked... but it is complete.

I don't see any "Army Air Force" markings on the A-11 helmet like on this picture :

Is this a problem ?

No , not a problem

A14 mask prices are all over the place at the moment for some unknown reason .
