Aviation Parachute Model (1/12 scale, about 18x9") This handmade, circa mid-1950s, "Combination Camouflage-Signal" parachute consisted of panels of natural white, international orange, olive green and tan. The two largest segments, each one-third, of the canopy area were supposed to be white and orange to facilitate signaling. The remaining third was equally divided between the green and tan colors for camouflage. This experimental model has four panels of equal size. This is a type of ring-slot parachute with a circular hole at the top of the canopy. (Hulsizer #177.9).
Estimated Value $350 - 500.
