U got it! I drew on several sources and snipped from this https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/7975/this-is-what-usaf-bomber-pilots-would-wear-during-a-nuclear-apocalypse : My next clue would have been: "hope you're having PLeaZanT day in Northhuumbria!
Quote:
The original PLZT goggles, military designation EEU-2/P, were developed for nuclear bombers such as the B-52 and B-1 in the Strategic Air Command (SAC), where the crew members would hopefully be just outside the blast, radiation, and/or heat damage radius of the weapon.
Used only in strategic bombers, not tactical fighters. (What are the Swiss in your source flying??!!)I imagine if my 'Raybans' were made with PLZT I could observe the eclipse of the sun directly...instead of the onset of 'nuclear winter'.... Note Russian protective goggles in '61: I tried to look up what they're wearing now.... OVER TO JIMBUNA!
