Steel Helmet Inside a Helmet Is Shaped to Shed Bullets

Item

“Reblocked” in a new shape scientifically curved to deflect bullets harmlessly, the U. S. Army’s 1941 “tin hat” offers better protection for the eyes and the back of the neck than the helmet worn by the American Expeditionary Force of 1917. A special inner helmet adds extra protection for front-line trench duty, and army tank crews are given an additional padding similar to that of football headgear.
