Royal Flying Corp RFC leather Pilots Helmet

 Royal Flying Corp RFC leather Pilots Helmet

During WW1 pilots flew in open top planes with no canopy except a front windscreen like Sopwith Camel and Bristol scout, so they had to wear warm clothing like thick leather overcoats and Fur lined Pilots helmets like this one. These make excellent driving helmets for vintage open top sports car owners.
