We always used the throat mike.

The dangling mask in the movies was so you could identify the character. With
mask and goggles on you would never know who the character is.


I thought the 1991 Movie "Memphis Belle" did ok in the scenes where the crew
have their masks up.

I guess it would be easier to recognise bomber crews at their stations -
fighters could be a little less easy.

Mind you, in the film 'The Battle of Britain' it was fairly easy to pick
out the voices of Robert Shaw and Michael Cain - and John Wayne in
'Flying Leathernecks'!

Cheers,
