BOMBER-CREW ARMOR made of steel and somewhat similar in design to the guards worn by football players, is proposed for use among Allied flyers operating over Germany. Weighing 15 pounds, the armor, still in an experimental stage, covers almost the entire body, and is held on with adjustable straps. A light steel helmet completes the outfit, which has proved particularly effective against flak fragments. It is limited to bomber use, as it does not permit enough freedom of movement for fighter pilots.
