WW2 Dutch steel helmet M34 type in original condition. This helmet was manufactured in the Netherlands by “Artillerie Inrichtingen” or “Verblifa”. The helmet shell is original. The badge was removed in the fog of war during the 5 days of defending the Netherlands against the Germans (may 10-15 1940). Against the facts proved by tests, the soldiers feared the soft copper badge would make a good entry for bullets to enter and pierce the steel helmet. Although untrue, they removed the badge when being near the front line. During the occupation by the Germans, badges were removed as well to meet the Nazi standards. But that was done mechanically, and not leaving clear traces as this example shows. This is a highly collectable item which will undoubtedly increase in value. See also my other advertisements. WW2 Niederlandscher Stahlhelm M34 Typ im Originalzustand. Dieser Helm wurde in den Niederlanden von “Artillerie Inrichtingen” oder “Verblifa” hergestellt. Die Helmschale ist original. Das Abzeichen wurde im Nebel des Krieges während der 5 Tage der Verteidigung der Niederlande gegen die Deutschen 10.15. Gegen die durch Tests bewiesenen Tatsachen befürchteten die Soldaten, dass das weiche Kupferabzeichen einen guten Einstieg für Kugeln in den Stahlhelm darstellen würde. Obwohl nicht wahr, entfernten sie das Abzeichen, wenn sie sich in der Nähe der Front befanden. Während der Besetzung durch die Deutschen wurden auch Abzeichen entfernt, um den Nazi-Standards zu entsprechen. Aber das wurde mechanisch gemacht und hinterließ keine klaren Spuren, wie dieses Beispiel zeigt. Dies ist ein hochsammelbarer Gegenstand, der zweifellos an Wert gewinnen wird.

La coque du casque est d’origine. L’insigne a été enlevé dans le brouillard de la guerre pendant les 5 jours de défense des Pays-Bas contre les Allemands (10-15 mai 1940). Contre les faits prouvés par des tests, les soldats craignaient que l’insigne en cuivre tendre fasse une bonne entrée pour que les balles entrent et transpercent le casque d’acier. Bien que faux, ils ont enlevé le badge lorsqu’ils étaient près de la ligne de front. Pendant l’occupation par les Allemands, les insignes ont également été retirés pour répondre aux normes nazies. Mais cela a été fait mécaniquement, sans laisser de traces claires comme le montre cet exemple. Il s’agit d’un objet à collectionner qui augmentera sans aucun doute de valeur.

La calotta del casco è originale. Il distintivo fu rimosso nella nebbia di guerra durante i 5 giorni di difesa dei Paesi Bassi contro i tedeschi (10-15 maggio 1940). Contro i fatti provati dai test, i soldati temevano che il distintivo di rame morbido sarebbe stato un buon ingresso per l’ingresso dei proiettili e per perforare l’elmo d’acciaio.

Rare US Lithuania Aviation Badge in Memoriam of Steponas Darius & Stasys Girnas_ 1933 Fatal Transatlantic Flight. Heavy metal badge with quality hot enamel. Size: Approximately 3 cm in diameter. Rare badge in very good condition. Only a Badge is for sale. Other photos are for information only. The badge marks historic flight of Lituanica – the airplane on which American pilots of Lithuanian origin Steponas Darius and Stasys Girenas in 1933 tried to set a flight range record. Departing from New York and successfully flying over the Atlantic Ocean, they crashed under unclear circumstances, when less than a tenth of the way remained to the end of the route (Kaunas, then the temporary capital of Lithuania). This flight is considered one of the most important events in the history of Lithuania in the 20th century. In the history of world aviation, the flight of S. Girenas was just one of many others, and unsuccessful one. Those days, range records were set one after another, and most of them were set over the Atlantic. However, the flight is notable for the fact that without landings, they stayed in the air for 37 hours and 11 minutes, having flown (to the crash site) 6411 kilometers, which was the second result for a non-stop flight at that time. Despite bad weather conditions, lack of radio communication and autopilot, their flight was very accurate. Darius and Girnas: Failed flight that helped build the nation. Steponas Darius (known as Stephen Darius in the US; January 8, 1896 July 17, 1933) and Stasys Girenas known as Stanley T. Girenas in the US; October 4, 1893 – July 17, 1933 were Lithuanian American pilots. Steponas Darius was born in Kovno Governorate of the Russian Empire. He immigrated to the US with his family in 1907. In 1917 he joined the United States Army. He served as a telephone operator in the 149th Field Artillery Regiment, fought in France, was wounded and received the Purple Heart medal. He participated in the Klaipda Revolt of 1923. While living in Lithuania he completed pilot training. He initially formed South Bend Airways in partnership with Carl G. Jordan of South Bend, Indiana. Their fleet consisted of a Pheasant H-10 and an Eaglerock Long Wing, both powered by OX-5 engines of World War I vintage. On July 15, 1933, along with Stasys Girnas, he attempted a nonstop flight from New York City, United States to Kaunas, Lithuania a total of 7,186 kilometres (4,465 mi), in a Bellanca CH-300 Pacemaker airplane named Lituanica. Both aviators were killed in the crash. They had covered a distance of 6,411 km (3,984 mi) without landing, and were only 650 km (400 mi) short of their destination. TRAGIC FLIGHT OF “LITUANICA”. Following Lindbergh’s famed solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean in 1927, the Atlantic became an inviting challenge to daring pilots, and since that time a number of them have attempted to fly it in small aircraft. It seems that the year 1933 before the advent of modern aircraft was relatively rich in transatlantic flights, among which was one by the two Lithuanian pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Girnas. Their flight, however, ended tragically; they succeeded in crossing the Atlantic, but early in the morning on July 17, 1933, their plane, “Lituani-ca, ” crashed in the Soldin Forest in eastern Germany (now western Poland), several hundred miles from their destination, and both pilots were killed. As if to symbolize their determination, their bodies were flown to Kaunas, which had Been their destination, and there they were given a state funeral. It was fitting that they should be honored as national heroes, for as “The New York Times” noted in reporting their deaths, they had undertaken their flight in an effort to add Lithuania’s name to the roster of aviation pioneers. Both men were American citizens, but both had been born in Lithuania, and in the same year 1896. In 1910, Stasys Girnas together with his brother, left Lithuania and settled with relatives in Chicago. Here he soon showed a mechanical aptitude; he worked in a printing shop, and in his spare time he tinkered with his own motorcycle. When the United States entered the First World War, Girnas volunteered and was assigned to a flying school in Dallas, Texas. Here he worked as an aviation mechanic for the duration of the war. By the time he was demobilized he had acquired a thirst for flying and for flying machines, and in 1924 he and a Swedish friend of his bought an airplane. He developed a love for stunt flying while he was still a student pilot; in 1925 he and his partner suffered a near-fatal accident while practicing near Chicago. Two years later he made his first solo flight, and in 1930 he received his transport pilot’s license. He bought a succession of airplanes, which he used for stunt flying and for transporting passengers. As for the former, he performed various figures and quickly learned to cut his engine at an altitude of 1, CC0 feet and land in a designated area with a dead motor. He won a prize from his American League post in Chicago for this stunt. As a passenger pilot, Girnas carried several thousand people without an accident. He also did considerable work as a flying instructor. The longest flight he made during this period was around 1,000 miles. Steponas Darius came to the United States in December, 1907; he settled temporarily in New Jersey, and in 1909 moved to Chicago. After graduating from a technical high school he attended Lane Junior College, where he majored in engineering. He was noted as an athlete, distinguishing himself in baseball, football and basketball. In 1917 he volunteered for the army and was assigned to a field artillery battery. He went to Europe with the American Expeditionary Forces and participated actively on the Luneville, Bacarat, Esperance, Champag-ne-Marne and Meuse-Argonne fronts. Darius was wounded on the Champagne-Marne front, and he received several citations for bravery. Here he attended an officers’ school and a school for aviators, and in 1923 he became a military pilot. In that same year Darius participated in the action at Klaipeda v/hsn that region passed from French into Lithuanian hands and became an autonomous area within the Lithuanian state. He was also active in sports; besides organizing sport clubs, he was one of the initiators of and for a time headed the Lithuanian Association of Physical Culture. He was also the author of several pamphlets on basketball and baseball. Darius’ leave began on May 4. 1927, and he was in Paris on the 21st of that month when Lindbergh landed his Spirit of St. It was probably here that Darius first conceived the idea of crossing the Atlantic from the United States to Kaunas. When he reached the United States he acquired his own plane and made many flights around the country. One of his most interesting experiences as an aviator was his work as pilot of an orchestra. This orchestra had been founded by H. MacDonald, of New York, and it traveled by air in filling its engagements. Darius was hired as one of its pilots immediately after his return to the United States. In the same year he was one of the participants in a transcontinental air race; he piloted “Miss South Bend, ” an entry of the South Bend, Indiana, “Tribune” and the Chicago Flying Service. The race started in New York, and Captain Darius (he had achieved the rank of captain in the Lithuanian military aviation service) reached Chicago but was forced to withdraw there because of engine failure. Darius and Girnas met in 1927, and almost immediately they began thinking about a nonstop flight from the United States to Kaunas. This was the period of aviation heroes and of epoch-marking flights. The Americans Lindbergh and Byrd, the Italian De Bernardi, the Germans Koehl and Huenefeld and the Frenchmen Coste and Bellonte were exploring new air routes and laying the foundations for a future worldwide air service. All the other countries, too, were developing their aviation. Lithuania acquired its first airplane for military use in 1919, as war booty from the Bolsheviks; it bought eight more planes in Germany that same year, and in 1923 it opened its first school for military pilots. But civil aviation was completely ignored. Some stimulus was necessary that would arouse public interest in air travel and lead the young country to concentrate more of its resources on the development of aviation. This had been one of Darius’ chief interests while he was in Lithuania, and he often discussed the idea of flying clubs with his fellow pilots as a means of stimulating broad public participation in aviation. For while pilots of other nations were making headlines through their daring and important flights, Lithuanian pilots were contributing almost nothing. Thus was born the idea of flying this distance of some 4,000 miles in the interests of Lithuanian aviation. Both Darius and Girnas were highly qualified for such an undertaking by virtue of their long experience with aircraft. On July 18, 1932, the two men bought a plane a Bellanca J-6 300 Model C H and began preparing for the trip. Darius, who had had experience with this type of plane, was convinced that it would be adequate for the ocean crossing if certain modifications were made. New gas and oil tanks had to be added, the wings had to be lengthened and certain instruments were required; also, a new motor was necessary. The plane was entrusted to the workshops of E. Laird, in Chicago, for these changes. The two pilots appealed to the Lithuanian-American public for funds with which to carry out the undertaking: they made frequent tours of Lithuanian colonies in the United States during this period, giving flying exhibitions. Gire- nas would perform stunts and Darius would take passengers for rides. Finally the plane was ready. On July 15, 1933, the “Lituanica” and iti two pilots took off from Floyd Bennett Field on the long journey eastward. Thirty-seven hours and 11 minutes later, the “Lituanica” crashed in eastern Germany, while some 25,000 people weer awaiting the plane’s arrival at Kaunas Airport. The cause of the accident was never determined. The plane had been seen wandering at a low altitude in the general area of the crash the night before. The treetops had been cut off for several hundred feet in front of the crash spot. The pilots must have been flying at a low altitude either because they were looking for a landing place or because of instrument failure. As it is, the flight remains a marvel of navigation. The plane’s log shows that it remained on course during almost the whole of the trip, and this without a radio the weight problem had forced them to make the flight without one. Funeral services were held in Kaunas Cathedral; 60,000 people attended, and Archbishop Skvireckas officiated. A day of national mourning was declared, and President Smetona of Lithuania and other high government officials published statements lauding the heroism of the flight. It is estimated that some 300 streets in Lithuania were named for the pilots Steponas Darius and Stasys Girnas. In the hearts of the youth of Lithuania they will forever remain national heroes; it was the young generation to whom these two pioneers dedicated their transatlantic flight, and their testament has become a source of inspiration. The lack of selfishness, which characterized these two pilots, is exam-plary. Whereas most other pilots in those early days of transatlantic aviation were attracted by various financial or other profitable gains, the attempt of Darius and Girnas can be considered as an idealistic mission, and today, 25 years later, the admiration for these two pilots has not diminished.
