AS worn By RAF Hawker Hurricane and Typhoon ground attack pilots! HELMET: Superb used as flown condition Type 'E' helmet. This is a partially externally wired example believed to be a first issue. These were introduced in 1944 for Middle and Far East use. Made from Airtex material they were favored by many pilots as they were comfortable to wear in hot and humid environments.
