Soviet pilot high altitude pressure helmet. Model ZSh-5A.

Zsh-5A high-altitude helmet was standard Soviet issue for its fighter pilots in the 1970's and early 1980's. Heavily padded fiberglass shell coated in white enamel. Earphones built into soft inner helmet. Pull down sun visor. There is a compensation bladder at the back of the helmet that connects to the oxygen mask - when the demand for oxygen is increased, the bladder fills, pressing the pilot's mouth & nose more tightly into the oxygen mask. In very good condition. Serial-numbered. Pilot's name (in Russian) on many. Does not come with oxygen mask. Awesome display piece for an aviator's home, office or museum! learn more...
