For a very short period of time in...Hello Jennifer,<br />For a very short period of time in 1940 there are a very few historical images showing qualified parachutists wearing the field service cap prior to official adaptation of the renowned "Red Beret"(maroon). I can find only one: https://arnhemjim.blogspot.com/2020/09/the-original-brevet-first-wings-of.html .<br />See thirteenth image in the attached blog artcle. Due to it being black and white can't discern any colour, but given lack of contrast fairly certain it's plain khaki. I don't believe by the 1943-44 time frame there would be anything but Red Berets. Hope this has been of some assistance.<br />Best regards,<br />Jim Gordon aka Arnhem JIm<br />Arizona Territory<br /> Arnhemjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01794722964883335445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956713848009971988.post-5668303399470996472023-11-29T06:19:30.576-08:002023-11-29T06:19:30.576-08:00from Jennifer Murray.
