Get ready for autumn with this superb US WWII Paratrooper package from Kay Canvas, centred around their reinforced M42 Jump Jacket – D-Day Airborne model.
This is the classic M42 associated with the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions during Operation Overlord. Before D-Day, many paratroopers had their M42 uniforms modified with reinforcing material around high-wear areas and the large cargo pockets, helping them cope with the huge amount of equipment carried into Normandy.
The jacket includes authentic-style details such as Scovill press studs, Talon-branded zips, reinforced lower cargo pockets, upper chest pockets, expanding pocket fasteners, shoulder epaulettes, adjustable cuffs, waist belt and the distinctive throat pocket designed for the M2 paratrooper knife.
And we’re not stopping there.
The winner will also receive a pair of Model 1939 US Army WWII Airborne leather paratrooper gloves in yellow/tan, PLUS a D-Day ’44 Operation Overlord baseball cap.
