USAF, HGU-55/P (CE) Helmet with MBU-12/P Oxygen Mask. This "Combat Edge" helmet is part of a tactical total pressure breathing system being used today in F-15 and F-16 fighter aircraft. The system improves high performance fighter pilot tolerance to high G maneuvers up to 9G's. This helmet is complete with clear visor by Gentex and with a M-87/AIC Acousticom microphone. There is a small Gentex label on the back of the helmet that reads, in part: "Parachutist Helmet / size Xlarge / 60240/G)22-4602-06 / …". The helmet appears to be in new condition but it was designed to be used with the MBU-20/P oxygen mask rather than the MBU-12/P mask which was designed to be used with the HGU-53/P helmet.
Estimated Value $500 - 750.
