"Barnstormer" Combo

Barnstormer Combo This special combo is a must for any pilot or aviation enthusiast! Our Barnstormer Combo includes three of our most popular items: a "Snoopy" Leather Flying Cap (choice of unlined or lined, a $29.95 value), a pair of RAF Mk.8-style Goggles (a $39.95 value), and a 100% Silk Scarf (a $29.95 value). Purchased separately, these items would cost $99.85, but we're offering these items in our Barnstormer Combo for $79.85 (20% OFF, a $20 savings).

To the barnstorming stunt pilots of yesteryear, these items were as essential as their trusty leather jacket. They were also vital for achieving the proper "look" of a flyer, and are still just as important today for open cockpit flying as they were back in the '20s and '30s. Please specify cap size (S-M or L-XL) and cap color (unlined cap available in brown or black, lined cap available in brown only); goggles and scarf are one size fits all.

Note: Unlined cap consists of leather shell only; lined cap couples the leather shell with a sheepwool lining for added warmth.

WWII AAF Crush Cap Cap

Crush Cap, Green

Crush Cap, Khaki
This is the classic "bomber pilot" headgear, worn by USAAF pilots in Europe and the Pacific! Actually, this was the standard Army/AAF officer's dress cap, worn by pilots and non-pilots alike, but pilots gave this cap their own unique twist. Normally, this cap had stiffeners -- a support piece behind the cap device and a wire around the inside top perimeter to maintain the cap's round shape. These kept the cap in its proper, regulation military shape and angle. However, since bomber pilots wore headsets over their caps during flights, they would remove the wire stiffener to make headset wear more comfortable, causing the sides of the caps to become crushed. Eventually, the caps retained their floppy "crushed" look, giving the pilot who wore it the look of a seasoned veteran. The crush cap identified its wearer as an experiened pro, and was as much a part of his identity as his leather flight jacket.

Our Crush Caps recreate that "50 Mission" look without having to fly 50 missions! The OD green caps were worn with the winter uniform and are most often associated with the European theater, while the khaki caps were worn with the summer uniform and are most often associated with the Pacific theater. Cap includes leather visor and chin strap, buttons, and Officer's cap device. Of course, the cap looks great when worn with an A-2 flight jacket, and it's the perfect "topper" for that authentic WWII vintage look. Made by the original WWII manufacturer, exclusively for US Wings! Made in the USA.

G.I. Pith Helmet

Pith Helmet

Image will open in new window.
These are genuine US Military pith helmets (1940s - 1960s era), not imported reproductions. They are in unissued, brand new condition. We were lucky enough to locate a supply of these helmets in a warehouse, and are making them available to our customers. Traditionally used by the colonial forces of Europe, India, Africa and the US, it was also widely used by missionaries, archaeologists, adventurers, and anyone else living in, or traveling to, the tropics. Original pith helmets were made from pith bark, from which the helmet derives its name. Over the years, construction and materials were improved, making it one of the most practical types of hot weather headwear. Pith helmets provide excellent protection from the sun, and the adjustable one size fits all web headband allows cooling air to circulate around the top and sides of the head, aided by multiple side vents. This is the same type commonly worn by US forces stationed in the Pacific during WWII. Perfect for camping, hiking, gardening, safaris, or any other outdoor activity. Available with or without USAAF or USMC cap device. Genuine US Military-issue, in unissued condition. Simulated top vent cap and puggaree band molded into helmet. Front chin strap on brim. Khaki color. Made in the USA.
