You have completely misread my post mate
Firstly, the goggles position is fine. But a pilot would be a bit of a dunce if he chose to wear his goggles down like this. By all means they might have liked to have done this, but it would distort vision and be a general nuisance.
Indeed, the pilot here has no mask connected to his helmet. It's possible it's hanginge from one of the lengths of the wiring loom, but it'd be a bitch to put on if he chose to go to a higher altitude.
Generally, I have only seen a couple of pictures of pilots wearing their goggles down like this. It's quite rare for the reasons I previously stated.
Even the lack of an oxygen mask is rare. Even if he had no need for oxygen, the mask contains the microphone. This pilot may be testing a larangyphone (sorry, I know I've spelt this wrong) but I doubt that.
He may be using gosport tubes, but again I doubt this too. So this pilot seems to be using no microphone, and there are no visible wires going into his b-type helmet to show that he has the c-type radio eaerphones installed
This may all go over your head mate. This is hardly a neccessity for SoW, but for future patches I think this is quite important. I have supported my criticism with information, but I will add that posting pictures will be hard as there were so many mask/goggle/helmet combinations available (although for this period there were only 4 types of goggles, 1 mask, 1 helmet (I'm not including the 1930 pattern) and 2 mics in use)
