This jump jacket is definatly my favorite! It belonged to '1st Lt. James F. Dunham', 'Jr. O-1825336', who was a member of 506 1st Bn. A Co.
I am still researching James and i think that he jumped in Son, although i am not 100% sure. I got this jacket with the Dutch Lanyard on it so who knows. I hope i get a positive reply on my request at the National Archives. Dunham was probably a replacement, and therefor i think that Operation Market Garden was his first war experience, but like i said, i am not sure.

I hope everyone enjoys it as much as i do, i really love it to preserve this piece of history!
That drooling sound you hear in the background is me! Awesome jumper!
