Dräger Helmet

German ground crew (probably not Leutnant Erwin Ziller the test pilot) wearing a WATANZUG(?) suit, in the Horten H.IX 1945 flying-wing made from two thin, carbon-impregnated plywood panels glued together with a charcoal and sawdust mixture, to combat the British Chain Home radar.

    Take note all "steam punk" aficionados. That's how it's done!

    There's a brilliant doco floating about on cable on the complete mock up made in the States recently, really cool stuff indeed.

    Forward the helmet pic to Ruby and the plane to Suzuki.
