Very nice example of a War used Navy H-3 flight helmet , inner cloth helmet and oxygen mask. All original to the same pilot , this set is a size Large , the helmets inner and outer are both Large as is the mask and include all the radio gear and the helmet also has its original boom mike attached.. Mask does show some signs of cracking from age but hardly noticable however I should mention it anyway. A very very nice find in original condition , being sold as shown .Again this is an H-3 , not an H-4 , very rare ! This type of equipment is intened to be worn by fighter pilot flying with Gentex flight helmet type HGU-86 or hgu-68 or HGU-55 in F/A-18 Hornet and A-4 Skyhawk. The pilot of these aircraft were trained in the use of aircrew life support equipment including g-suit and oxygen mask systems in fighter and attack aircraft. The MBU-12 and MBU-14 were masks that were also used with this type of equipment in Naval Aviation.More modern aircraft such at the Super Hornet and Grumman Prowler are now using different types of equipment such as the CRU-103 and GRU-7 ejection seat. /
