99-9 in other words practically all, of the life-saving parachutes supplied to the Royal Air Force during the war, which saved over thirty thousand allied airmen in combat emergency, were of Irvin Air Chute design. Of more than 400,000 Service-type air chutes manufactured, * approximately 60% were made in Irvin factories in Great Britain alone, and the remaining 40% by other companies working strictly to Irvin designs and patents with the technical co-operation of the " parent firm" whose manufacturing methods and working drawings they employed. Irvin-type canopies and harness formed the basis of all parachutes used by Airborne Forces and saboteurs, and Irvin technicians collaborated in the development of nearly every other type of parachute used against the enemy. Genuine R. A. F. - type parachutes, namely Irvin Air Chutes, incorporating all their original features and the actual designers' latest improvements, are now obtainable only from the inventors and patentees.
