function passparaSC(){return \'&baseurl=\'+ escape((function(){var d = return d })()) + While pilots of Navy fighters and dive bombers wore flight helmets aloft, pilots and aircrews of PBY Catalina patrol planes wanted to fly as comfortably as possible, as their flights often lasted many hours in stifling heat. These \"Cat\" pilots often wore the Navy HBT flight ball cap with just sunglasses and headphones. This US Navy WW2 PBY CATALINA PILOT HBT FLIGHT BALL CAP is in excellent condition, with a thin line of surface \"running\" at the left side of the front bill, a small nick at the right underside of the front bill, and with some light scattered wrinkling and age wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the cap is in excellent shape, with absolutely no rips, holes, tears, or other damage to the tough HBT 100% cotton construction, which retains nearly 100% of the original rich, dark OD color. Most interestingly, it\'s \"U.S.N.\" stamped at the interior back, along with an \"NXSX\" contract number and a Size \"6 3/4\" marking, and sports the familiar hunter green underside of the front bill. A beautiful example of a rare, original US Navy WW2 PBY CATALINA PILOT HBT FLIGHT BALL CAP. We have shown a photo of a US Navy patrol pilot at the controls of a \"Cat\" during WW2 wearing a similar flight ball cap.
