Hi everyone! I just thought I'd share my latest acquisition of AAF flying gear. Garcia Aviation makes a number of repro AAF pieces including gloves, crush caps, and now helmets. The photo below is taken directly from their webpage. The A-8 helmet is really nice. It's made with a fairly accurate shade of light OD with khaki stitching and russet leather. Even the tag is the typical black with gold stitching. Sizes run consistent with WWII originals that I own (Garcia Aviation sells only Large and X-Large). Prices are at $40 and shipping is speedy. I just thought I'd post this in case any of you were looking for some new flying gear.
