Had to laugh. That's a good question. The helmet was a flight helmet, made of leather. It retained heat like a full head hat for high elevation flying. Plus it contained ear phones and a throat microphone (strapped on after the helmet was put on) with all the wiring contained in the helmet. It was more for warmth than it was head protection.

It gets mighty cold up there, those fur lined helmets kept their head warm

It provides a sense of safety for them until they are dead. Plus they needed to comunicate with their base for directions. Pretty stupid people if you asked me but their beliefs are different and they can keep them out of America.

Maybe to hold their brains in, or keep their hair from getting mess'd?
Normally I thought they wore a prayer scarf around their heads.

To hear the radio traffic. Someone has to tell them where to go, and who is after them.
