Description
The AN-H-15 helmet was introduced as the standard summer or light weight for the Army Air Force and Navy on April 23, 1943. It served as the replacement for the Type A-9 flying helmet. It was the first flying helmet designed under the joint Army/Navy procurement program.
Made of a tan khaki cotton material, this flight helmet is in EXCELLENT condition for its age! No rips or tears, and the earphones are 100% intact! No rust or corrosion on the metal fittings. Features snaps for an Oxygen Mask, and is prominently marked, “Army Air Forces”. Probably dating around 1944, it is marked as a MEDIUM. Would make a PERFECT addition to any collection or display!
