CH DH-151 PA-594-BAMF-1

Issued to F-5E/F Tiger II pilots.

The same double visor configuration was also standard on

BAMF-1's used by Mirage III pilots. It was then discovered

that the upper initiating handle of the Martin Baker MK 4

ejection seat installed on the Mirage could interfere with the

double visor cover. This led to the modification of the helmet

with a differently shaped visor cover, like the one displayed here.

The oxygen mask is an MBU-5/P connected to the helmet

with "T" bayonets.
