In four short years, the US Army Air Forces grew from a small air service to a mighty armada that swept the Luftwaffe from the skies, and was capable of projecting force on a global scale. AAF pilots early in WW2 wore the B-5 sheepskin leather flight helmet in cold weather, and it was prized for its comfort. Original AAF WW2 B-5 flight helmets are quite rare today, so the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company of Devon, England has produced an exacting recreation, and in many ways, their version exceeds the original. We are an officially authorized Eastman dealer, and offer 1 day shipping and an ironclad 30 day money back guarantee on all of our Eastman products. This US Army AAF WW2 EASTMAN PILOT B-5 SHEEPSKIN LEATHER FLIGHT HELMET is a top of the line MODERN REPRODUCTION by the famous Eastman Leather Clothing Company. It's in MINT, unworn, new with tags condition, with some small nicks, scratches, and surface cracks to each ear cup, and with some light scattered darkening evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the helmet is in mint shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the rich, tough "grained" sheepskin leather construction. Most interestingly, it's a Size Large, features a warm sheepskin fleece lined crown and buckled chin cup, and bears the classic "TYPE B5 / ROUGH WEAR CLOTHING CO." replica AAF nomenclature label inside. It boasts snap closure leather ear cups and goggle retention tabs at each side, retains the "CLASS 13 / ELC" maker's tag, and is a beautiful example of a US Army AAF WW2 EASTMAN PILOT B-5 SHEEPSKIN LEATHER FLIGHT HELMET.
