Original U.S. WWI Era Private Purchase Aero Squadron Aviatric Leather Flying Helmet by Wheary Airplane

Original Item: Only One Available. This fantastic rare example of a genuine WWI Aviator flying helmet is made of a soft leather and retains its Wheary Airplane tag on the interior. This model of helmet was called the Aviatrix.

Construction is brown leather felt-lined flying helmet with buckle chinstrap, same style as a belt. Typical allied construction of the period with all snaps and buckles present; snaps are all period correct. The leather is in great shape, and the helmet probably saw very little use. Helmet is approximately 55/56cm (7).

Offered in good unissued condition. Comes ready for further research and display.
