normaninvasion Posted April 23, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 23, 2009 Don't know if this is in the right section. My father gave me this pilot chute today. He got as a kid in the 50s, thinks it may be from WW2. Can anyone tell me about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brandon_rss18 Posted April 24, 2009 Share #4 Posted April 24, 2009 Probably WW2 but my guess because of the size would be a chute for material and supply drops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
