Recreated from an original WWII-era Camp Mackall T-shirt, this design brings back a simple piece of wartime Airborne training history: CAMP MACKALL, parachutist wings, and NORTH CAROLINA.
Camp Mackall was built during World War II as part of the Army's rapidly expanding Airborne training network in North Carolina. Originally opened as Camp Hoffman in 1942 and renamed for PVT John T. Mackall in 1943, the post became an important training ground for Paratroopers, glidermen, and the units preparing for large-scale airborne operations.
Rather than reinterpret the artwork, we rebuilt this reproduction from the original period shirt, preserving the straightforward collegiate-style lettering and Airborne imagery that made the original what it was.

Unit History & Information
Construction of Camp Hoffman began in North Carolina in November 1942 as the Army expanded its airborne force. Renamed Camp Mackall in 1943 for Private John Thomas Mackall, the installation housed Airborne Command and trained parachute, glider and air-transported troops. Mackall’s mother attended the camp’s dedication on May 1, 1943. Large airborne maneuvers followed that December, testing methods that would be used in the European war. The camp name and parachutist imagery on this shirt recall that wartime training role.
