This rugged, black WWII-era friction tape was widely used by U.S. paratroopers, engineers, and signal troops. Known for its strong grip and tough fabric texture, it served countless purposes in the field – from repairing gear and bundling equipment to marking objects or enhancing camouflage.
Each roll is 1 inch wide and 24 feet long (approx. 7.3 meters), packed in a vintage-style repro wrapper.
Perfect for:
-
Reenacting Airborne, Engineer, or Signal Corps roles
-
Repairing authentic WWII gear
-
Functional use in the field or on display
Sticky. Tough. Exactly what the GIs used.
So-called “friction tape” was standard issue for U.S. engineers and airborne units, especially during preparations for D-Day and Operation Market Garden. Its insulating and binding qualities made it a go-to fix for weapons, cables, and personal gear.
