Although we all dressed up like pirates at work today, the above mask is what I'm wearing tonight to scare all the princesses, frogs, superheroes and ninjas coming to my door tonight for candy. Despite the Hannibal Lecter quality, the mask came to me through my grandpa. It's a standard mask for pilots during WWII, used to help stave off the freezing cabin temperatures when you're flying in high altitudes.
Hope everyone does something fun and scary tonight.

That's a scary looking mask even if we do know the history behind it!
Speaking of WWII pilots, I found Penguin's 1942 "US and Jap Planes" at a used bookstore on Monday.
