LIFE Magazine U.S. Army Parachutist (May 12, 1941)

Description

Experience history with LIFE Magazine's U.S. Army Parachutist issue from May 12, 1941. This rare edition details the difficult training requirements of U.S. paratroopers. This is the same magazine that convinced C. Carwood Lipton, of Band of Brothers fame, to volunteer for the airborne. He discusses this decision in the documentary We Stand Alone Together. Immerse yourself in the stories, images, and advertisements of the time.

The magazine you receive might not be the exact one shown here, however it will be substantially similar and, of course, original.
