Army Ground Forces installed these in the M1938 helmet for tank crews, while the Army Air Force used them for A-8, A-9, B-5 and B-6 flight helmets.
What helmets are these headsets suitable for?
These headsets are designed for the M1938 tanker helmet. They are also suitable for early flight helmets, including the A-8, A-9, B-5, and B-6 models. The headset completes the look of these period helmets.
How authentic is the appearance of the reproduction headset?
The headset is a very authentic-looking reproduction. The exterior marks, cloth-covered wire, and PL-54 plug are all considered very authentic. It is hard to tell the difference from original items.
What are the differences between this reproduction and an original headset?
The fabric cord cover lacks the wear of an 80-year-old original. The wires inside the fabric-wrapped cords are rubber-coated, whereas original wires are fabric-sheathed. These differences are only noticeable upon close inspection.
