what is the face-shield thing in the Blackhawk crewchief photo? I have been aware of these for a couple of years now, but I have never heard what their purpose is. I'm sure it doesn't serve and ballistic purposes, is it just to keep the crewman's face from getting busted up during a forced/hard landing (crash) or something? i'd really like to know.
