$690.00

Selling this beautiful French fighter pilot's flight helmet type-313 from the 60s / early 70s. The helmet is painted with the fighter squadron "Escadron de Chasse" 2/5 Île-de-France livery.


Fighter squadron "Escadron de Chasse"(EC) 2/5 Île-de-France was originally created by WWII free France's leader général de Gaulle on October 20th 1941. The squadron initial name was Free French Squadron 340 and was part of the Royal Air Force. The squadron was very successful and decorated during WWII.


The set includes:1) The fighter pilot type 313 helmet painted in the 2/5 squadron livery. The helmet was used during the 60s and early 70s. At this time the 25 squadron flew on Super Mystere B2, and then later on sur Mirage IIIC. The helmet was hand painted to commemorate the squadron. "SQN 340" is painted inthe back of the helmet; this is a reference to the initial name of the squadron when in flew with the RAF during WWII.2) Flight goggle Rod88 (first type). The goggles are in good shape. High visibility yellow visor. The googles' strap was fixed on the left side (see photo).
3) The inner soft/fabric flight helmet type 312-313. It is complete and in good shape
4) The oxygen mask Ulmer 19. It is complete and in good shape (with the exception of some silicone cracking here and there). This mask is the type of oxygen mask used on jet aircraft Morane-Saulnier MS.760 « Paris » during the 60s. The oxygen balloon was replaced by a modern reproduction in perfect shape.
Please note that the radio headphone and cable are unfortunately missing and are not included. The good news is that it is relatively easy to find them online.


The helmet is in Paris, France, but I will ship internationally including the US, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Australia, etc. at the actual international shipping cost. For those destinations, insured shipping with tracking is ~$75 / €70, and around €40 for Europe. I will reimburse you the shipping cost difference if any, so don' worry about that.


Please note that I am trimming my collection so have a look at my other flight-related items including numerous amazing USN and AAF flight helmets and jackets (G1, M422a, ANJ-3, 55J14, 7823 (AER), 7823 A, 7823 B, A2, B3, M445, L2B, B-15C, etc.). I will continue to list other collector’s items in the next 2 weeks including vintage squadron patches, flight helmets, flight suits, flight gloves, etc.

Please note that I will NOT accept returns as I did my best to capture every detail in the item description and through multiple pictures.
