CIRCA 1969 HGH-2 a/p US FLIGHT HELMET - US ARMY AIR FORCE MILITARY COMBAT VIETNAM IN ORIGINAL ARMY AIR FORCE ISSUED CLOTH CARRY TOTE BAG - MARKED LT. COOK - W/ VARIOUS COMMUNICATIONS MIKES & EARPIECE - POSSIBLY A HELICOPTER HELMET
This appears to be a circa 1969 HGH-2 a/p MODEL US FLIGHT HELMET that certainly was used during the VIETNAM WAR conflict. It appears to have been issued by the US ARMY AIRFORCE judging from the bag. This could have been used for use to f...ly a helicopter.
Wear and tarnish is consistent with age and use. Deterioration to styrofoam lining as shown. A new old stock cloth headliner can be had as found for sale on eBay, so the underside of this helmet is an easy clean-up and fix. Some dryness to rubber ear pieces where telephone sets are located - both which are present. One of two four-pronged plastic 'wing nuts' on back side slider tracks for releasing and locking in retractable sun visor are lacking and the found plastic side washers are cracked and chipped as is shown. Back head strap and front chin strap with some wear but pretty much okay.
Please see all photos as they are part of the description. A little tender loving care and adjustment and this will be a great helmet - especially because it has all of its communications gear present and comes in its carry tote bag - which appears to be rather uncommon.
