The oxygen mask is the pressure demand (pressurized) A-13. In the enlarged photo of the pilot an "L" shaped tube is located just below the mask (see black circle). That's where the hose connector (see white circle below) of the H-2 Emergency Oxygen bottle connects.

2011年9月21日 · This is a summary of the basic flight gear used/worn by USAAF pilots in the Pacific Theatre in the latter half of WW2. Firstly the AN-H-15 summer flying helmet used by both USAAF and USN pilots. Here it's displayed with Type 1065 Aviation Goggles (precursor to the B-8) and an A-14 oxygen mask. Th...

(5-xx) Shown in the three photos above and below is the A-14 oxygen mask, used by fighter and bomber crews from early 1944 until the end of the war. You'll need to install a ANB-MC-1 microphone. Or if your doing a typical 8th or 9th AF fighter pilot, the T-44 Microphone with Bell Plug to accommodate British radios would be appropriate.

Oxygen Mask: The Type G oxygen mask was used, which connected to the aircraft’s oxygen supply to prevent hypoxia at high altitudes. Goggles : RAF pilots wore anti-glare goggles to protect their eyes from the sun, wind, and debris.

2021年10月18日 · I was interested because the Helmet belonged to the Brazilian 1st Fighter Squadron Group and the oxygen mask which is in great shape, with no cracks or damages. If you can ID it positively to his that would be cool. They flew out of Italy IIRC. A very good friend was stationed nearby also flying P-47s. Dave.

2017年5月13日 · The the revised H-2, which requires an adapter for the oxygen mask hose. The image with the individual kneeling is an immediate post war but illustrates the same WWII bottle.

2022年5月11日 · Two fliers of the 8th Bomber Command clad in high altitude flying clothes including sheepskin coats & helmets, oxygen masks and sunglass goggles, at airdrome in southern England. During World War II, the now-legendary VIII Bomber Command (often referred to as the Eighth Air Force) served as the principal American force assembled to attack ...

The man above wears an A-4 under the B-3 Mae West. An unmarked QAC has a A-8b oxygen mask hanging in front of it. My mask shown is a postwar example. A good condition wartime A-8b is extremely rare. The B-6 helmet is under the Mk VII goggles. He has A-9 gloves, the AN-6513 1a parachute, and across from it the K-20 camera.

Ways to develop better fitting oxygen masks to avoid fogging and freezing of goggles, common problems for pilots early in the war. Ways to prevent blood from pooling in the lower extremities using a G-suit during violent dog-fighting maneuvers, thereby preventing “blackout” and loss of consciousness due to lack of blood flow to the brain.

The A-5 mask, a similar full-face combined wind-protection and oxygen delivery mask made from chamois-lined horsehide, was standardised in 1935 and dropped as obsolete in 1943. The last of these leather, combined wind and oxygen mask designs was the Type A-6 mask.
