Hi would anyone no why the type B flying helmet would have no maker labels stitched into them,(also including the date of manufacture)
As I have just come across one having just the AM label with the reference 22c-65.but no maker label and date.
Would anyone no the date this type of helmet would of been issued from?
Many thanks again

In that case I would put all manufacturer tags as “Berlin” 😉

Having just read this post of yours in the 3D Lanc thread…
There are a lot of fixes for the one problem but only one is most logical.. 😉
your latest post here seems quite appropriate :applause:

I concur, late 1940/41 Air Ministry ordered that labels be removed from flying helmets and other equipment, as captured equipment with addresses in them would give details of towns that would be “legitimate” military targets.

The last of the B Types (’41) tend to be without the makers name and address. Something to do with not advertising a potential bombing target if aircrew or their kit fell in to enemy hands
