US Airborne First Aid Pack - Packet or Pouch and similar items

Reproduction WW2 US Airborne First Aid Pack - New The Parachute First-Aid Packet was originally designed and used by the United States Army Air Forces. It was to be issued to every parachute wearer, and contained supplies to treat wounds after landing. In 1942 the kit was issued to Airborne troops. The second pattern packet was constructed of light weight waterproofed canvas. It was hermetically sealed and was to be opened by tearing the material using notches located at the top and bottom end of the packet. It was attached to equipment by means of two material tapes which were stitched to the packet using a zig-zag style stitching technique. They were generally attached to the helmet or field gear. This new pack is brand new, perfect for reenactors, helmet collectors or military medical enthusiasts. This is an excellent reproduction first - aid pouch for Airborne troops and would make a great addition to your helmet.
