Army Air Corps Type B-6 High Altitude Flying Helmet- Large

This is a rare and authentic early World War II issue Army Air Corps Type B-6 high altitude flying helmet, an iconic piece of flight gear widely favored by 8th Air Force bomber crews operating from England during the early years of the war. Crafted for functionality and extreme cold-weather endurance at high altitudes, this B-6 helmet features a thick, generously sheepskin-lined interior, providing superior insulation and comfort in freezing cockpit conditions. The exterior is constructed from durable leather, showing only light wear consistent with age and use, but no rips, tears, or damage-a testament to its preservation and quality. This helmet is in very good used condition, maintaining soft and supple leather throughout. The chin strap assembly is 100% complete and fully functional, allowing for a secure fit. The original woven label is intact and clearly marked as size "Large", though it fits more like a modern medium. A standout detail on this helmet is the Army Air Corps wing & star insignia decal on the rear, which remains in excellent shape and adds to its display appeal. Helmets in this condition are becoming increasingly hard to find, especially with all original parts and such well-preserved materials.

Whether you're a serious militaria collector, aviation historian, or vintage gear enthusiast, this B-6 flying helmet is a superb example of early U. Don't miss the opportunity to own a genuine artifact from one of WWII's most storied air forces. Everything is fine, please leave feedback. Problem or concern contact me and I'll make it right.
