You all know about Anthony Appleyard's divers and other freestuff. The Silent Enemy is a 1958 movie, depicting some of the remarkable events that happened around Gibralter during WW2, involving British and Italian frogmen.

Well, I'm working on a serries of stories about a special forces type of guy, just before WW2, in a vert alternate universe. With very alternate pictures...

What I'm looking for are the following:

WW2 frogman suit and gear  It doesn't need to be deadly accurate, but wet-suit style gear seems wrong.  There's some crossover with the Submarine Escape Apparatus of the time.

An earl;y-style Higgins Boat (not the ramped landing craft) would also fit the setting well.

At least one of the stories is going to include folding canoes--think Operation Frankton--landing through surf on an open beach.

And these guys also do parachute stuff, using British-style parachutes. (I'll have a pnoy while I'm at it.)

Anyway, lets have some nautical pulp adventure.
