Resistal Type NMR goggles
Friitala 1930's
1930's style Friitala leather flying helmet, Ilmavoimat
​
This Finnish summer flying helmet is constructed of five leather segments around a center strip which features a goggle retaining strap at the rear, with another two (one is missing) attached to the front segments near the temples.
​
Two earflaps covering the ear openings are buttoning to the rear, while an additional stud on each side allows the latter to be rolled and fixed towards the front.
​
The large leather chinstrap can be adjusted by two rings on the wearer's right cheek. This is a typical feature of flying helmets manufactured by Friitala, and can also be seen on the type Lp/T flying helmet.
​
The inside of the helmet features a comfortable and sophisticated quilted green cloth lining.
​
The helmet is shown with a pair of Resistal type NMR goggles, which are identical or at least very similar to those shown on the pitcure of the Finnish WWII glider tow.
