USAAF - 8th AF Bomber Crew A-9 complete headset

Description

We are often approached by the film and tv industry to supply authentic flight gear for their productions.

In the 2024 release of Masters Of The Air, we supplied all of the combat headgear which comprised a mixture of various helmet styles such as these very accurate recreations of the USAAF shearling Type B-6 flight helmet.

We also supplied many original WWII artefacts, such as modified Type A-10C oxygen masks.

Together with reproduction Type B-7 goggles and R-14/ANHB-1 earphones we were able to supply the production with very authentic complete head gear ensembles.

This offering is for a complete 8th Air Force head gear set, as pictured, which comprises:

- Orignal Type A-9 flight helmet, fitted with reproduction sponge rubber ear cushions, and correct 8th AF rigger modified press stud attachments for accepting attachment of oxygen mask.

- Reproduction HS-18 (R-14 earphone) headset installed into helmet

- Original WWII production modified A-10C oxygen mask

- Reproduction Type B-7 goggles

The entire ensemble - helmet, mask and goggles - are production supplied articles that went to the studio and were used on screen. All pieces are in excellent condition, but may well show slight signs of useage.

Exactly as supplied to the film industry.
