As the co-author, I can say we accomplished what we intended: a photo documentation on operational jet-age flight and space helmets from around the world. As stated in the foreward, with few exceptions, we cover helmets with their major variations that are/were operational, not experimental. Especially interesting are the high-altitude models which are rarely seen and limited in production.

Awesome book. Covers the basics of jet era flying headgear. However,

I would like to have had more information on the versions of the APH-6,

PRK-37/P, MS-22001, HGU-68/P, etc. Other related books include: Bone

Domes & Speed Jeans; Vintage Flying Helmets; Flying Headgear of the

World.

Jet Age Flight Helmets is giving a very useful overview of the topic. It is packed with beautiful colour photos making it easy to identify each helmet type. A little more information about the helmets would have been useful and the same goes for an alphabetical index. Nevertheless four stars fully earned.

Excellent review of the all the basic flight helmets. Outstanding photos. Only downside I see is that the descriptions/history of each type could be more in-depth. Since there is nothing out there better (that I have seen), it's still a must have for anyone collecting these helmets.
