Collection: British Denison Airborne CAMO

The British WWII Denison CAMO was a distinctive camouflage pattern used primarily by British airborne forces, such as paratroopers and commandos, during World War II. This hand-painted design featured broad, irregular brushstrokes in earthy tones of brown and green over a khaki base, creating an effective disruptive pattern suited for European battlefields. Originally applied to the Denison smock, this camouflage was designed to provide concealment in woodland and rural environments while offering a rugged, combat-ready appearance. Its unique, somewhat random application made each smock slightly different, adding to its individuality. The Denison CAMO became an iconic part of British airborne history, symbolizing the elite and daring troops who wore it during key operations like D-Day and Operation Market Garden.
