Speaking of interesting books… I was a bit shocked when I
found this little number. Who would have
thought that there would be a whole book devoted to Military Sun Helmets and only
Military Sun Helmets? Not me. I will
confess to being more than overjoyed at finding this title. This is another one of those books that one
knows is just that little bit more special, or a little bit more 'of interest', than some others. Just look at these
pictures:
(Yep, even the Nazis wore them.)
There are also heaps of photographs and illustrations of the
helmets in situ, and all of the wonderful details are obviously written by a
man with a passion… and if there’s one thing I like, it’s a book written by
someone with a passion. This passion has
also spilled over to the interwebs and the world of the helmet is there on the
www for all to appreciate, not just the lucky few who hold this wonderful book in their
hands. Some of you may think I’m a
little slow to pick up on the whole helmet thing. Yes, this is true. I had no idea other than the idea that the
subject is one that I can imagine people would be interested in… and they
obviously are. My gleanings from my
brief search of the helmet world have also introduced me to the $$$ value of
the helmet… something else to keep my eyes open for.
