Most pilots either lost the flishields because they were so fragile or pulled them off themselves. They are useful for putting up at, say, a 45-degree angle to block the suns rays, but other than that they affect visibility.
The goggles here are post-BoB BTW. The earlier variant of this series were used in the BoB though. These are mark IV'bs. Mark IV's and IV-a's were used in the BoB.
Also the microphone here is post-BoB.
But the mask and helmet are fine
