Crafting Recipe for Aviator Helmets

While the starting color is determined by the carpet used in crafting, the helmets are dyeable, and can be set to white by washing them in a cauldron.

When worn normally, the aviator helmet looks like a miniature version of the ghast harness, with the goggles worn on top of the head:
