another interesting photo 1941 the officer have an first
type jump tunic and the helmet without the sausage

Tunic of an A.D.R.A. (Arditi Distruttori Regia Aeronautica) Ltn (1942).
The owner took part in four missions of the ADRA in North Africa, accompanying four different squads on the drop zones by a SM82 plane.I had the great luck, several years
ago to obtain from the widow some uniforms, that I've honoured with
an article on the Italian magazine Uniformi & Armi.Last edited by Paolo Marzetti; 01-11-2016, 08:20 AM.

Originally posted by marpo View PostM41/42jump camo para smock.Same version as the above, but camo:two
colours overprinted on the grey-green background.That was used by all
the paras of the R. Army, R.Aeronautica and R. Navy, and also, when available,
during the RSI period by the APAR and NP paratroops.

para WWII stuff.Only three of them have an original smock(perspirable cloth
with two colours overprinted on the grey) like the one shown.On the contrary I know a lot of people having one or more than one FJ camo and not camo jump bonesack:for example I've four of them.In my opinion the Italian camo jump smocks are rarer than the German ones, but it depends from the market and from the request-The fact is that all the camo smocks of this type disappeared after WWII!
