The Type A-11 intermediate flying helmet was standardized on
August 6, 1943 and became one of the most popular and widely
utilzied helmets during World War II. There were numerous but
minor changes relating to the oxygen mask attachments made
during its production run but continued to keep the A-11
designation. The rubber earphone mountings were designated for
the Type ANB-H-1 radio reciever. The helmet remained in Air
Force service during the Korean War. The Federal Avaition
Administration (FAA) continued to use the helmet in high
altitude training through the mid-1970s. Country of Origin:
