This interesting
relic was donated by Eric
Kyro, of the 41st
Fighter Squadron. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr.
Kyro at the 41st FS reunion in Charleston, SC where he
told me the interesting story of this padded leather
helmet, made by an Australian shoemaker which he wore
on missions in his P-39 "SISU" and P-47 "The
Flying Finn" in New Guinea. |
