Saipan 1944

[JayTownsend]

Speaking of Nihon Silk, which I'm hoping to see any week now, I wonder if unused Japanese parachutes met the same fate after the war that American parachutes received. There were vast numbers of parachutes surplused out after the war to the clothing industry. During the 50's my mother made pants for me and my 3 brothers and used parachute material to make the pockets. I used to jump around and pull inside out my pockets to show I was parachute jumping in 1955.

Looking forward to a massive increase in SNLF and IJA counters in my gaming library soon.

I think I jumped with one of those WWII leftovers back in the 1980's, as it didn't work very well and gave me a Maywest but for some reason I was able to untwist it before attempting a reserve parachute, if that wasn't enough, it was windy and I landed in a burning field! Morale of the story, never jump out a perfectly good plane!

I don't believe the PG HQ Library can add new unit types until Andrew updates the library. I mean look at KSF, all the newer units still don't show up on it.

Sorry way off subject. Now back to Saipan!!!!!!
