Seems like even the earlier incarnations of the Leather Flying Helmet were still known for providing protection, although it was mostly from their own aircraft. They could absorb a few bashes from falling debris, fire, wind, even weather.

Oh, another one: Pauldrons. Wikipedia mentions that pauldrons are supposed to be plate, but I've seen segmented or even solid leather shoulderpieces referred to as pauldrons. It would be something to alias spaulders and ailettes to. (Alternatively, use the spaulders tag and alias pauldrons to it)

I don't know if I'd call flight helmets armor, they're just meant to absorb concussive force from crashes or ejection, so they're really more like motorcycle helmets or hard hats than kevlar.

(I don't know if motorcycle helmets should be considered armor, but it sounds a bit weird to call them that)
