Original U.S. WWII Camouflage Auxiliary “Pilot Chute” Parachute with Rigging & Navy Marking - Dated March 1943

Original Item. Only One Available. This is a lovely small parachute often called a “Pilot Chute” that was designed to open upon activation of the main chute to drag the main chute out and away to be opened.

The chute retains its markings:

PART NO. AN69310
HAYES MFG. CORP.
DATE MAR 1943
(US ANCHOR)

It retains most of its rigging and is in great shape overall.

The first “pilot chute” we have offered, ready for further research and display.
