This one is probably my favorite combat uniform- a reenforced jump suit kitted out for the Normandy jump.

The Limey para on the right side of the photo is on a negro mannequin as the British forces didn't segregate their army the way the Americans did. The kitted out paratrooper on the left is actually the costume Ted Danson wore in SPR. I've added a Bob Bashaw parachute to the mannequin as as not to stress my original chute or an original suit.

General Apathy

post-344-1168810721.jpgHello again, here is another of my favourite uniforms. It is a jacket and shirt both belonging to Victor. V. Luna, D Co. 2nd Btn. 506th Paracute Inf. Reg. The jacket and shirt both have white tounge 101st Airborne patches on the left shoulder and 1st Allied Airborne on the right shoulder. Of interest is the fact that his middle initial was the letter ' V ' and he has ground his jacket jump wings with the shape of a V. ( Lewis )

 

Here is a close up of the ' V ' shaped jump wings of Victor. V. Luna, 506th PIR

All:

 

The quality of the uniforms is outstanding. I almost feel I have nothing to contribute to this thread except kudos!

 

Take care,

I got it from a fellow collector. Sadly I don't have any knowledge of the wartime owner. The jacket is dated march 1944.

 

Best regards

Carl
