fiveodeuce Posted December 1, 2010 Share #1 Posted December 1, 2010 Hello, I've had this wing for a long time, and i pulled it off the uniform to look at it today, and I thought I would post some pictures of it on here to see what you guys thought of it. I think it's a very nice wing with a combat star on it. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fiveodeuce Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share #6 Posted December 6, 2010 Thanks for the nice compliments. The paratrooper was in 1/HQ 508th, he was a Normandy replacement. his combat star was for Holland. Here's a picture of the full uniform. The CIB is Ludlow marked.

BEAST Posted December 6, 2010 Share #7 Posted December 6, 2010 That's a great looking Ike! You gotta love that jump wing also. Thanks for sharing this! Do you know much else about the vet? Was he wounded in Holland or later? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fiveodeuce Posted December 7, 2010 Author Share #8 Posted December 7, 2010 Yes I know some more about him, he was wounded Jan 30th 1945 in Belgium. He was in the 81 mm mortar platoon. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treetop Posted December 11, 2010 Share #11 Posted December 11, 2010 That is a fantastic uniform. Don't know that they come any better. The jump wings & CIB are wonderful. Could you show us a close up scan of the para-glider cap patch on the cap ??? For some reason it looks a little different in the picture (More suspension lines than usual) and I wonder if it is also english made. Thanks for sharing .

fiveodeuce Posted December 13, 2010 Author Share #13 Posted December 13, 2010 Thanks for all the great comments, I appreciate it. The cap patch is theater made bullion work, I think it is probably German made, but it could be British made. I'll post a picture of it later on tonight.
