This is a wonderful!! It's rare that we get a WWII U. S. helmet with such great research potential! Here we have very nice example of a genuine mid WWII Issue U. S. A. F. issued helmet, with a liner that was quite personalized. Not only did the owner install a U. S. Army Aviation Branch pin in the front eyelet hole, they also look to have had the members of their squad write their names and addresses on the outside!
