"DENISON" BRITISH WW2 D-DAY PARATROOPER AIRBORNE CAMO JUMP SMOCK REFERENCE BOOK

Description

From D-Day at Normandy to the "Bridge Too Far" at Arnhem, British paras of WW2 prized the Denison smock for its rugged comfort and durability. The numerous variations of the Denison smock have been of great interest to collectors for decades, leading Bruce Wilson, in collaboration with Military Mode Publishing and the Airborne Assault Museum, to write an authoritative reference book on the subject in 2013. This "DENISON" BRITISH WW2 D-DAY PARATROOPER AIRBORNE CAMO JUMP SMOCK REFERENCE BOOK is in near mint, unread condition, with only some light scattered storage wear evident (most pictured). Otherwise, the book is in near mint shape, with no other damage. Most interestingly, it boasts elegantly illustrated hardcovers, and sports 201 pages full of descriptive text, period pictures, and color photographs of the earliest brown step-in parachutists jacket, Windak made "officer's" Denison camo smocks, the Windak made reversible Denison camo/white parka, every different kind of WW2 factory produced Denison camo smock, badged and modified examples, green 1942 pattern parachutists jackets (over-smocks), both models of wool parachutists trousers, and the Denison camo SOE jump suit, as well as chapters devoted to post-war Denison camo smocks, DPM and MTP camo versions, and foreign jump jackets. A beautiful example of a "DENISON" BRITISH WW2 D-DAY PARATROOPER AIRBORNE CAMO JUMP SMOCK REFERENCE BOOK. Now celebrating over 20 years on eBay.
