Two things I would suggest, Blanco and sort out the chin strap?

Lots of Jedburgh were soe, that's why I said usually. How many of those wore Corcorans is another question. The attraction of the Corcoran must be it...

Soe did not usually dress as combat troops to jump. Some Canadians did wear corcorans, usually those in the FSSF.

If you can find the leather chin strap go for that. Gives you more flexibility. Leather straps were seen on all operations where as the web ones are r...

Those photos are interesting, they show that the airborne strip was still used in 1944 but by 1945 it was almost totally absent. I have the detail of ...
