History of the British Para Badges

[rsunday]

Hello,

Does anybody have any historical information regarding British WW II Parachute Badge?

Origins, who made a design, when issued, what order, etc?

Maybe you can suggest any web pages or put info here?

Thanks

Rafal

Hi Rafal, the IWM has a huge amount of information, but most is not found in books or online.

I think Ade might have some interesting info on these, i know that gaunts of London produced a large number during the war and post

This book covers para badges, but not all your questions which I don't think have been covered in the way you ask.

You might also try the two books on para smocks and headgear by military mode publishing.
