I know a lot of goggles were disposable. Weight would also maybe have been a factor. Glass would have shattered if struck by a fragment. Maybe some services/pilots went for lighter weight? On the other hand, cellulose is very flammable and I would hate to have it so close to my face.

Another one of those cool little trivia mysteries from that time.

EDIT: I missed Phillip's post prior to this post, good info there. He answered the quesstions I asked here beffore I asked them lol.
