    Attention Collectors!
    SUPER RARE
    US Military
    Apache Helicopter

    M-48
    Aircraft
    RESPIRATOR / GAS MASK.
    The M48 was issued exclusively to US Army AH-64 "Apache" helicopter crews,
    while the general aviators (all helicopters except Apache) use the M49 mask. The mask was issued to replace the M43 in service.
    Mask features
    form-fitting facepiece with lenses mounted close to the eyes; an integrally attached CB hood and skull-type suspension system; an inhalation air distribution assembly for regulating the flow of air to the oronasal cavity, lenses, and hood; a pressure compensated exhalation valve assembly for maintaining overpressure in the mask/hood; an electronic microphone; and a portable motor/blower filter assembly which operates on either battery or aircraft power.
    The mask provides the required CB protection and allows for compatibility with the AH-64 Integrated Helmet and Display Sighting System and the Optical Relay Tube.
    The mask is lightweight, comfortable and provides a close fit and tight seal around the face. A nose cup is incorporated for reduced fogging of the facepiece. That material is impermeable to chemical agents such as mustard, providing maximum assurance. Meets NIOSH CBRN standard.
