I'm after an used Type D-1 jacket around Sz 40-42. I hover between a 40" to 42" chest so I don't know how roomy the jackets are. Anyway, I'd prefer a well used example but would always consider a pristine one. I'm not bothered about maker as long as it looks accurate. I live in the UK but...

I'm desperately after a size 38 Type B-11 parka. Condition must be near mint but I will consider any condition. Please message me if you can help. Regards, Neil.

I collect Airborne Troop Carrier items ranging from original uniforms, books, paperwork and photographs. Anything considered. Regards, Neil.

Wow, Gene these are great photographs of your Grandfather. I'm currently researching IX Troop Carrier Command as I live very close to some of the old airfields that they operated from in the UK. I also run a page on Facebook honouring their memory...

Now then. My first post on the forum and a sample of what I collect. I mainly collect all things IX Troop Carrier Command as I live very close to three old airfields where the 435th, 436th and 437th Troop Carrier Groups operated from during WWII. I love the uniforms. IMG_1311 by jonesy1275...
