Overview of COL HIMMA NAMED PARATROOPER AIRBORNE JACKET&PAPERS

Item Details

Col Einar Himma paratrooper Airborne jacket with Himma related papers. There was only one combat paratrooper drop during the entirety of the Vietnam War which occurred in the vicinity of Katum on February 22, 1967 by the 2nd Battalion, 503rd Airborne Infantry Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade. A grand total of 743 confirmed, named paratroopers made the combat drop into the vicinity of Katum that day, of which Col. Himma , then Lt. Col., was one of the paratroopers named to make the drop. The combat drop was the opening action of Operation Junction City, an operation meant to flush out the headquarters of the communist uprising in South Vietnam, known as the Central Office for South Vietnam. While the operation would last 3 months altogether, it is now remembered for being the only parachute combat drop of the entire Vietnam War. Col Himma was part of the US Army Rangers and was at one point the head Green Berets physician. Himma served 2 tours of Vietnam as a physician and surgeon. Himma was part of the 1970 Fort Bragg incident where Jeffery MacDonald was accused of killing his wife and 2 children where Himma took hair samples as evidence from MacDonald. He had been awarded the Parachutist Badge of the Imperial Iranian Army, Parachutist Badge of the Army of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Legion of Merit to name a few. Lot includes copies of various paperwork about him such as flight records, small arms certification, awards, photos and more. Uniform comes with his name tag and various Airborne and Rangers patches including 2 patches that are not attached. Photo of him in a helicopter also included. Jacket size small regular and in very good condition. This is a great lot about a named officer who served in Vietnam, had a long and distinguished military career, and was one of the 743 named paratroopers to jump during the only combat parachute drop of Vietnam. A must have for any collector of paratrooper militaria and Vietnam war history. See photos.
