Hi, Is this a Finnish pilot's headgear? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Could be early motorbike helmet that has been used for flying but not a military model that I have seen

Checked for fun if Finnish army motorcycle men did use this civilian "motorcyclist leather cap". I found only 1 photo.
All other motorcycklist had german helmet with goggels or m/36 field cap.
