NASA flight helmet circa 1965. US Navy APH-6B helmet has a dual visor (clear and sun), as well as an A13A oxygen mask, both made by Sierra Engineering Corp, with the oxygen mask helmet attachments by Dunrite Tool and Die. The ID label on the helmet and one of the two visor knobs are missing as is the head padding inside the helmet. The earphones are intact as are the earphone attachment cords. There is a NASA decal on the helmet above a stencil of the aviator's name "Cambiaso,” who was a NASA photo tech. A scarce helmet in excellent overall condition. Provenance: Goldberg, 2008.
