The US military saw the success of German paratroopers in 1940, and quickly set about creating its own elite airborne units. US paratroopers jumped on Sicily in Operation Husky in 1943, and dropped into Normandy during the D-Day invasion in 1944. Those \"devils in baggy pants\" were awarded sterling silver jump wings upon graduation from jump school, and wore them with pride as a symbol of their elite status.This pair of US Army WW2 PARATROOPER AIRBORNE STERLING SILVER PIN-BACK JUMP WINGS are in very good condition, with some downward bending to the pin, some light inward bending to the \"rolling\" C catch, and with some scattered age wear evident (ALL pictured). Otherwise, the wings are in fine shape, with absolutely no cracking or other damage. Most interestingly, they boast elegant detailing at front, sport a fully functional pin and rolling \"C\" catch closure, and are stamped \"STERLING\" along the middle back.
