Description
RAF WW2 Early Type 'C' Leather Flying Helmet
This is a stunning example of an early RAF leather flying helmet. It's believed to be an early 'B' or 'C' type with the distinctive slit up the back with buckles to allow quick adjustments. The chin strap fastener has a buckle and not like the later type 'C' which had press studs. The age is late 1930s or early 1940's and would have been used by bomber crews and fighter pilots.
Condition - used but overall good condition. The leather has wear and one of the headphone zip isn't working.
