This web site is proudly maintained by Mark Patterson. I am a serious collector and historian of the WW2 Paratrooper, with
my main focus on the U.S. Airborne Divisions. I have been interested in WW2 and primarily the Paratrooper for
over 30 years and have been collecting militaria since then. I dedicate this site to all the "troopers"
who gave up their todays so that we would have our tomorrows!
 
I put this site together as a sort of online museum, so that veterans, collectors, historians and anyone interested
in the WW2 Paratrooper can come to it and hopefully enjoy the pictures and information contained herein.
You will find pictures of my collection and hopefully visitors will be adding to the gallery. There will also be pictures
and information pertaining to the Normandy and Holland invasion as well as the "Battle of the Bulge".
If you have any comments or things to add please contact me.
I am always looking for more pieces of history to add to my personal collection. If you have anything Paratrooper
related please contact me.
