RAF Horsa and USAAF Waco Gliders

Burgundy Polo Horsa Glider

As discussed in our recent post announcing the new D-Day 80 Commemorative clothing designs, we have added the RAF Horsa and USAAF Glider designs to the Classic Military Aircraft clothing range.

The Horsa glider played a huge role in the Allies fight against Germany, starting with the Invasion of Sicily in July 1943. They were also extensively used in the D-Day landings, Arnhem and the Rhine crossing.

The Waco glider was used in the above missions but also saw service in the Far East campaign against Japanese forces.

D-Day 80th Anniversary Clothing Launched

80 years ago, a generation of brave young men were about to take a huge leap that demanded the utmost in bravery and courage. The events of the night of the 5th and morning of the 6th of June 1944 would see these men become a generation of legends.

Simply known as D-Day, the 6th June 1944 will forever be remembered as the day the tide finally turned against the Germans and the Allies fight back firmly commenced.

As the veterans from D-Day and the liberation of Europe fade away from living memory, it is ever more important that those of us following never forget their bravery and sacrifice.

My tribute to these brave souls comes in the form of a new D-Day 80 commemorative clothing range.

I have created separate D-Day 80 anniversary embroidered designs featuring USAAF and RAF aircraft, along with a special jacket back motif.

Show your respect and admiration for these wartime heroes at every aviation event you attend with one of our smart and unique D-Day commemorative embroidered garments!

RAF C-47 and Horsa Glider DesignUSAAF C-47 and Waco Glider DesignDakotas and Paratroopers Jacket Back Design

in connection with these designs, I will be adding in the coming days, the often requested glider embroideries featuring the RAF Horsa glider and USAAF Waco Glider.

Finally I have revisited and refined the existing RAF C-47 and USAAF C-47 designs in the Classic Military Aircraft clothing range
