New Armored Uniform for U.S. Flyers -- Two U.S. soldiers demonstrate the difference between ancient and modern armor at an Array or dance exhibit in New York City. One of them exhibits a suit wrought of heavy steel which was worn by knights of the 11th Century, while the other is dressed in a new-type uniform patterned after the ancient armor for the use of TT.S. Army Air Forces flyers. Although the modem uniform includes a steel apron, vest and helmet to protect the flyer from fragments of anti-aircraft shells, the armored parts, including the helmet, weigh only 25 pounds nine ounces. The steel is covered with cloth to prevent flyers hands from freeze to the armor during flights in sub-zero temperatures. May 29, 1944. (Photo by U.S. Office of War Information Picture).
