Book of the Month: June 2025 American & German Helmets & Body Armor of World War One

June 30, 2025

For a late June Book of the Month, this is a cool & old one! Written by Bashford Dean, a pioneer of military helmets. It's a neat book that covers all sorts of early military helmets. Especially early experimental United States helmets, which Dean himself designed.

Unfortunately, I am unsure as to when this book was written, although it does appear older, and Dean passed away in 1928, so this could either be pre-1928 or a later produced copy.

Overall, a really neat book! My favorite aspect are the early Experimental United States helmets covered, especially given the fact that the author himself helped design some of the models covered.
