Actually, more like passive sonar. Those are basically ear megaphones. I believe that they were used to detect the sound of incoming aircraft.

Little bro sends me this stuff, some interesting, some funny. Pic of first x-ray, State of Liberty hand in Madison Sq., Washington monument celebration, etc. Asked if he found a web site with this stuff, no answer yet.

So I guess a glider would be considered a stealth aircraft?

From the style of uniform, this would have been from a time when a "glider" was what you called an aircraft that had been shot down prior to it actually hitting the ground. :)
