The concept is while bombing with nukes, they were to place the eye patch over one eye, then the goggles. The goggles, you can actually look strait into the sun with. WHile bombing low level runs, the goggles would protect your eyes from the nuke flash. The eye patch was a secondary procaution in case the goggles did not work like they should. In that case, you can remove the goggles and the eye patch and at least have one eye to fly home with.. I still have "memories" of one of those kits... |
