Helmet, Armor, Type M-4, RAF & USAAF, 1943
Rare genuine WWII USAAF Type M4 armor helmet, introduced in 1943 for 8th Air Force bomber crews -- to a lesser extent, it seems that the present version also saw service with some RAF flying personnel. The helmet itself was made of five manganese-treated steel strips placed between two layers of cloth and covered with leather. Generally considered less protective than the previous and bulky Type M3, this model was better suited to confined spaces such as the top turret or tail turret. Although a batch of 19,000 helmets was ordered from British company Wilkinson Sword in September 1943, the manufacturing process was to slow and the American military authorities relocated most of the production in the USA. The later Type M4A2, adopted in 1944, was based on this helmet. Good, worn condition; chinstrap is missing. Quite interestingly, a half sheet of paper taken from some notebook is still present inside; the following mention has been written on it in French: casque de parachutiste Anglais [sic] trouvé le 3 juin 1944 ("English paratrooper helmet found on June 3, 1944").
