The insignia that you describe was the unit insignia of the 502nd Parachute Infantry Regiment. The 502nd, along with the 501st & the 506th were the three Parachute Infantry Regiments of the 101st Airborne Division during WW 2. Richard V. Horrell WW 2 Connections.com That insignia was used by Gus "Doc" Anagnostis for the drop zone he owned in Dickinson, Texas (halfway between Houston and Galveston. He called the club the Galveston Skydivers. He made 61 parachute jumps on his 61st birthday. He drank uzo and danced with handkercheif and could be me arm Wrestling when I was 20 and in great shape. In the movie "The Longest Day" he was portrayed as a sole Survivor of his group and I watched his chin quiver, just a little, when those boys were shot in the air, under parachutes off of target L.Z. I have one on my jumpsuit. It is smiling now! Gus "Doc" Anagnostis was my papoo (Grandpa). He did indeed use the insignia for his diving school. However, he made 51 jumps on his 51st birthday (not 61) - he is in the Genus Book of World Records for this. Papoo used this insignia for his school because he was in the 101st Airborne Screaming Eagles. He parachuted in the night before D-Day, and he survived the Battle of the Bulge. He was truly a bad-a##. Elizabeth Anagnostis

During the World Trade Center tragedy, parachutes could not be used because the plane had been hijacked by terrorists who had crude weapons on board. How come no one in the towers had a parachute, after the 1993 tower bombing?
