The USAAF discovered the benefits of leather helmets during high altitude flight due to their durability, comfort, warmth, and protection from environmental conditions. The A-11 flight helmet was mainly used in Europe by USAAF crews, where it was ideal for the temperate climate and winter environment. It was used at times in the Pacific Campaign, but leather was not so suited to the humid and hot weather. In addition, leather helmets worn by pilots and crewmen contained headphones, enabling them to hear communications in the noisy environment of a bombing raid.
