Lot 8197 | Fliegerschutzhelm "Roold" von Lieutenant Antoine Marie Felix Césari im 1. Weltkrieg
Estimate value
€ 1 000
Korpus aus Kork, außen von braunem Wachstuch bezogen, runder Vorderschirm, Nacken- und Ohrenschutz. Innen imprägniertes grünes Tuch und ein braunes Lederschweißband mit goldener Herstellerprägung "Casque Protecteur Roold Breveté S.G.D.G." sowie altem handschriftlichen Trägernamen "Césari". Dazu die Schutzbrille mit metallgefassten Gläsern und schwarzen Gummipolstern. Partiell leicht beschädigt, Trage- und Altersspuren. Insgesamt schön erhaltenes getragenes Stück von französischem Fliegerhelden.
Leutnant Césari (1885 - 1957) startete mit einem anderen Flieger am 14.8.1914 um 17.30 Uhr mit dem Auftrag, den Hangar der Luftschiffe auf dem Militärflugplatz Metz-Frescaty auszukundschaften und wenn möglich zu zerstören. Kurz vor dem Ziel stoppte der Motor plötzlich. Der Leutnant wollte seinen Auftrag trotzdem erfüllen, ging in den Gleitflug und warf seine Bombe kaltblütig ab. Der Motor lief wie durch ein Wunder wieder an und er kehrte sicher zu seiner Basis zurück.
A pilot's helmet "Roold" worn by Lieutenant Antoine Marie Felix Césari in World War I
Cork body covered in an outer layer of brown oilcloth, round front visor. Neck and ear protectors. The interior with impregnated green cloth and a brown leather sweatband embossed with the manufacturer's mark in gold "Casque Protecteur Roold Breveté S.G.D.G." and the owner's old, handwritten name "Césari". Also includes the goggles with metal-rimmed lenses and black rubber pads. Slightly damaged in places, signs of age and wear. Overall, the used helmet in fine condition, belonging to the French flying ace.
Lieutenant Césari (1885 - 1957) took off with another plane at 5.30 p.m. on 14 August 1914 on a reconnaissance mission to scout out the airship hangar on Metz-Frescaty military airfield and destroy it if possible. Shortly before reaching the target, his engine suddenly cut out. The lieutenant was determined to complete his mission nonetheless so switched to gliding mode and coolly dropped his bomb. Miraculously, his engine started back up and he returned safely to his base.
