Description
You are bidding on an EXCELLENT unused set of WW2 German Luftwaffe Fliegerkopfhaube (Flight Helmet) Cellophane Earphone Covers (Ln.26602), as used in conjunction with MANY flight helmets throughout the war!During WW1, most pilots quickly realized the need for protective headgear due to the cold weather effects while in an open cockpit.As no headgear was readily available, pilots were forced to utilize commercially produced leather motorcycle and automobile helmets.During WW2, the German military produced approx. 10 variations of flight helmets for various operational conditions, as well as with or without radio communication equipment.This specific helmet was designed with radio equipment for fighter and bomber pilots.It was similar to the earlier model used in the early months of the Battle of Britain (LWpW100), however with updated features.Made of cellophane, this set is in SUPERB unused condition!Mounted between the earphones and the pilots ears, these protect the electrical equipment, and the wearer. They feature a prominent part number, indicating,Ln.26602, with NO breaks or damage! Some slight marks and wear due to the age, but nothing that detracts.Would look FANTASTIC on a flight helmet that is missing them!
