Very cool pic's Gary!!
They were a short lived unit and were never dropped into combat.
Great shot of the 5th Marine Div. patch and their wings.

I like that they are wearing the army wings .Thanks for looking Phil. Thought you might like them . Gary
During WWII, the Army wings were the only authorized wings. The Navy gold-style wings were actually Parachute Rigger wings, but often worn by Marines who preferred their appearance and/or wished to stand out from the Army.
Thanks brig for posting that info . I had spent the last few days reading about that same subject. Gary

Paramarine! by Chris Mason is a great reference book on the subject. Out of print for awhile now, but can usually be found on eBay
