5 out of 5 stars Vintage Flying Helmets.......2007-04-05

This is the definitive work on aviation headgear before the jet age. This is a must publication for historians, collectors and modelers who demand accuracy in their work.

5 out of 5 stars Extremely well researched and accurate in every detail........1998-05-09

I am an avid collector of World War One and Two aviation items, and this extremely well researched and beautifully put-together volume is one to have for collectors, modelers, enthusiasts, historians, museums, or just for those wishing to identify grandpa's old stuff in the attic!

The information entered in the volume has been meticulously researched and well laid out with both period photographs of the gear in wear, and modern day close-ups of gear from both the author's collection and from the collections of fellow collectors.

I also encourage those interested to pick up the next two volumes that are coming out concerning "Luftwaffe vs. RAF", flight equipment of the opposing air forces during the second world war.

Both thumbs up from me!

      This is an excellent book written by someone who obviously was there and lived the life. The characters may be "fictional" but the details and experiences seem very real. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in knowing what was aviation was like "Before The Jets".

            Book Description

            Austin Peterson first became “island happy” during WW2 when, as a Major in the Armed Forces Radio Section, he toured AFRS stations in the Pacific (Honolulu, Kwajelein, Eniwetok, Ulithi, Guam. Saipan, Palau, Leyte, Lingayen Gulf, Manila, Biak, New Guinea, the Admiralties, Guadalcanal, New Caledonia, Canton and Futi Futi). In 1960 he wrote “Tahiti Report” which was sponsored by Pan Am. He also wrote travel reports on Fiji, New Caledonia, American Samoa, Manu’a Islands and Western Samoa for the airline. “Tahiti Report” was used by H. Allen Smith (author of Two Thirds of a Coconut Tree), by the MGM film crew on location for Mutiny on the Bounty, and Jack Paar read from it on his South Seas TV special.
