London firm aids armor gear for air crews since 1772
A London company, long known for sword making, now builds armor gear for air crews issued as production permits allow. The complete vest covers chest and back with a manganese steel shell, plus an apron for legs. Bombardiers, navigators, gunners, and radio operators wear full vests, while others use lighter versions. Test pilots describe the gear as lifesaving during raids, with pilots noting a near miss but no injuries.
