You are bidding on a USAF P-3 flight helmet believed to be Korean War Era. The leather head patch in the sling assembly is stamped, "U.S. AIR FORCE" below a winged star floating in a circle. A tag on the sling assembly reads, "Flying, Pilots Protective, Type P-3 / Size Small...The Shelby Shoe Company". The Selby Shoe Company's operations were in Portsmouth, OH until it closed in 1957. The helmet is missing the comm cord and the rigid external visor, but otherwise believed to be fairly complete. As previously mentioned, the helmet is a size small; it has a 6.5" x 9.5" opening with a protective sling assembly inside. The helmet is about 9.5" tall.
