M35 DD LW Bomber crew helmet and display.
The normal German steel helmets (here a M35) were worn by flight crews commonly during the WWII.
A great deal of photographic documentation attests to this.
Crew members would either use large size helmets or helmets from which the liner had been removed so
that they would fit comfortably over their flight helmets with radio gear.
A Luftwaffe helmet air crews wore in flight when participating in raids with heavy anti-aircraft fire.
Under the M35 there is a:
LKp S 101 flight helmet with throat microphone.
