"Snoopy" Leather Flying Cap
|

This authentic leather flying cap is a must for any aviation enthusiast! Worn by many daring barnstormers, as well as the brave pilots of WWI (not to mention a certain popular cartoon dog!), our leather flying cap recalls the spirit of adventure from a bygone era. Authentic in every detail, featuring an unlined leather shell and brass adjusting buckle. No collection would be complete without it! Made in the USA.
Looks great with a Silk Aviator's Scarf and Goggles (below).

Identical to the Snoopy Leather Flying Cap above, but lined with soft sherpa fur for extra warmth and comfort... at no extra cost! While our unlined Snoopy Leather Flying Cap is great for warm weather activities, our lined version is ideal for cooler weather wear... or whenever you require an extra bit of protection from the elements (such as open-cockpit flying or skiing). Features genuine goatskin leather shell and brass adjusting buckle. Made in the USA.
Looks great with a Silk Aviator's Scarf and Goggles (below).

WWII AAF Crush Cap Cap
|
 |
|
This is the classic "bomber pilot" headgear, worn by USAAF pilots in Europe and the Pacific! Actually, this was the standard Army/AAF officer's dress cap, worn by pilots and non-pilots alike, but pilots gave this cap their own unique twist. Normally, this cap had stiffeners -- a support piece behind the cap device and a wire around the inside top perimeter to maintain the cap's round shape. These kept the cap in its proper, regulation military shape and angle. However, since bomber pilots wore headsets over their caps during flights, they would remove the wire stiffener to make headset wear more comfortable, causing the sides of the caps to become crushed. Eventually, the caps retained their floppy "crushed" look, giving the pilot who wore it the look of a seasoned veteran. The crush cap identified its wearer as an experiened pro, and was as much a part of his identity as his leather flight jacket.
Our Crush Caps recreate that "50 Mission" look without having to fly 50 missions! The OD green caps were worn with the winter uniform and are most often associated with the European theater, while the khaki caps were worn with the summer uniform and are most often associated with the Pacific theater. Cap includes leather visor and chin strap, buttons, and Officer's cap device. Of course, the cap looks great when worn with an A-2 flight jacket, and it's the perfect "topper" for that authentic WWII vintage look. Made by the original WWII manufacturer, exclusively for US Wings! Made in the USA.

|
These are genuine US Military pith helmets (1940s - 1960s era), not imported reproductions. They are in unissued, brand new condition. We were lucky enough to locate a supply of these helmets in a warehouse, and are making them available to our customers. Traditionally used by the colonial forces of Europe, India, Africa and the US, it was also widely used by missionaries, archaeologists, adventurers, and anyone else living in, or traveling to, the tropics. Original pith helmets were made from pith bark, from which the helmet derives its name. Over the years, construction and materials were improved, making it one of the most practical types of hot weather headwear. Pith helmets provide excellent protection from the sun, and the adjustable one size fits all web headband allows cooling air to circulate around the top and sides of the head, aided by multiple side vents. This is the same type commonly worn by US forces stationed in the Pacific during WWII. Perfect for camping, hiking, gardening, safaris, or any other outdoor activity. Available with or without USAAF or USMC cap device. Genuine US Military-issue, in unissued condition. Simulated top vent cap and puggaree band molded into helmet. Front chin strap on brim. Khaki color. Made in the USA.
