Description This is a set of USAF P-1 modified P-4A flight helmet, A-14B oxygen mask, and helmet bag.

The U.S. Air Force introduced FRP hard-shell flight helmets with the P-1 in the early 1950s, followed by the P-2 in the mid-1950s, and in the mid-1950s, a movable visor was attached to the shell in place of the goggles that had been used with the helmet. This was the P-3. In the late 1950s, the new P-4 was introduced, and as the early P-1 and P-2 models became obsolete, the visor mechanism and headset receiver were modified by the military to the latest P-4A specifications. That is the specification of the helmet presented here.

The distinguishing point of the modified version is that the AF decal on the front of the hard shell overlaps the rail of the visor mechanism, while the one produced as P-4A from the beginning has the AF decal moved to the side of the head. The inner harness is not marked with the model name, but is a replacement harness for modification. While the outer shell has some paint peeling and scratches, the inner harness, ear receivers, and oxygen mask clip tabs are in brand new condition with almost no signs of use. However, there should have been a modified tag attached to the inside of the shell, but all of the tags, including the original tag, have been lost.

The oxygen mask is an A-14, which was used from World War II, but the one combined with this piece is a modified A-14B produced at the end of the 1950s, which is also period correct.

In addition to the aforementioned paint peeling and scratches on the shell exterior, one of the screws on the right side that secures the visor to the frame is missing, but this does not cause the visor to rattle.

This is a rare authorized modification. The P-4A with a clean interior, almost unused after the modification, is a rarity. Also included is a helmet bag from the same era. This helmet bag is also rare.
