WW2 US Airborne A-5 Ariel Delivery Container and Parachute, A-5 delivery container used widely throughout all the major US airborne operations in WW2. This example is complete with both end caps and the quilted blanket section. Both ends are appropriately marked ‘Left’ and ‘Right’. The securing straps and buckles all appear to be in place with a container type parachute attached via the standard style of hook clips. One end cover has unfortunately suffered storage damage by rot or rodent and has in turn damaged the corner of the blanket within. The parachute is of a post war origin. PLEASE NOTE WE ARE NOT ABLE TO OFFER IN HOUSE POST AND PACKING ON THIS LOT DUE TO SIZE AND WEIGHT, SPECIALIST SHIPPING OR PERSONAL COLLECTION ONLY.
