Denison: British Airborne Specialist Clothing from WWII to the present day

Description

The author Bruce Wilson has worked hand in hand with Military Mode and The Airborne Assault Museum to produce this highly detailed and appealing work.  Not simply a book dedicated to one iconic garment but covering the history of all the British airborne smocks from the very earliest models right up until present day, lavishly illustrated with a large amount of exceptional surviving artefacts as well as some wonderful period images, some being published for the very first time.  The British Airborne Forces has always held a deep fascination for collector and military historian alike. Even someone with a passing interest will surely find elements of this work valuable. The book covers step in smocks, Denison smocks the extremely rare Windak smock, experimental items, paratrooper trousers and post war developments. The works is 204 pages, large format and hard back.

We are glad to combine multiple purchases for savings on shipping.  If you purchase more than one item from us, please wait to pay until we send you an eBay invoice with the correct shipping amount.
We print the USPS postage through the eBay system, so your package will be shipped to you exactly as it appears in your eBay account.

We ask successful bidders to remit payment within 10 days of auction end.
