Book, Doc McIlvoy and his Parachuting Medics, The Way we Were n°3, 82nd Airborne
"Doc McIlvoy" is the third volume in Michel De Trez's WWII paratrooper portrait series titled The Way We Were. Major Dan McIlvoy was a medical officer in the 82nd Airborne Division s famed 505th PIR. As a proud member of this unit from its first day of existence, he was only apart from it for two days, while being MIA in Normandy. The saga of the 505th Medical Detachment is retold through Doc McIlvoy s own story. As a battalion surgeon, and later as a regimental surgeon, Doc McIlvoy instituted many new methods of caring for, and evacuating, the unit s many casualties. Many of these innovations were later adopted as standard operating procedure by the US Army Medical Corps. Throughout his history of service, Doc McIlvoy supervised the treatment of hundreds of combat casualties. Through his great initiative, surgical skill and devotion to duty, he was able to save the limbs and lives of a great number of his wounded comrades.

Boots, Paratrooper, Made in USA, Corcoran
Made in USA reproduction of the legendary brown leather jump boots by Corcoran. This is the finest replica of American paratrooper jump boots on the market, produced by the original manufacturer still active today. Crafted from performance “spit shineable” leather, these boots are unlined for authenticity and feature internal ankle support. The internal gusseted tongue, stitched all the way up the shaft, sits beneath leather laces, while the reinforced back strap and pronounced, durable toe cap give the Corcoran its iconic bean-shaped silhouette. Built on the Garrison Army Munson last for superior fit, they include a PORON® cushioned insole, a ribbed steel shank, and welt construction with a leather midsole. The two-piece sole—black rubber painted brown—is oil-resistant and anti-slip, attached with double stitching and small nails. The beveled heel, also oil-resistant and perforated for shock absorption, adds both grip and comfort. The original manufacturer’s label is sewn at the top of the shaft.
