During World War II, parachutes were produced by various manufacturers, including well-known companies like the United States Rubber Company and the British company Irvin Airchute Company. The U.S. military also developed its own parachutes, such as the T-5 and T-10 models, which were used extensively by airborne troops. Additionally, many countries involved in the war had their own manufacturers and designs tailored to their specific military needs.

The parachutes in World War 2 were reusable except when they were in enemy territory. They had to bury their chutes then.
Nylon was used to make materials in the war such as parachutes and ropes.

World War I parachutes were primarily made of silk, which was lightweight and strong, allowing for better deployment and stability during descent. The silk was often coated with a rubberized material to enhance durability and resistance to moisture. Additionally, the design included a simple round canopy, which was effective for the technology of the time. As the war progressed, other materials like cotton and linen were also used due to supply constraints.
I don't know but the Americans used them to make parachutes.
Parachutes were not used in World War I primarily due to their limited development and practicality at the time. While some experimental parachutes existed, they were not reliable or effective for use in combat scenarios. Additionally, the tactics of the war focused heavily on trench warfare and aerial reconnaissance, making the need for parachutes less pressing compared to later conflicts. It wasn't until World War II that parachutes became standard equipment for military operations.
i heard there were but i am not sure
yes
Silk, up until the war. Japan controlled all the silk-making areas, so silk was unobtainable, for either parachutes or ladies hosiery. Both are made of the synthetic nylon today.
