Description
SSK 90/ME 262 helmet of iron, made of radial plates designed to flex and absorb shock. Originally covered with leather. One of four known examples in identical condition and evidently kept together. One in the Museum of the City of Kiev, Ukraine, and two in private collections. The SSK 90 was developed for jet pilots who flew the Messerschmitt ME 262 in 1945. The development of jet military aircraft could have changed the outcome of the war had it come earlier. These helmets are truly part of that history-making development.
