Is Captain America a paratrooper?

With the release of "Captain America: The First Avenger" coming to theatres in June of 2011, Entertainment Weekly has published some of the first photos from the film (the initial part of which is set during World War II). This begs the question. Is Captain America a paratrooper?

Check out the photos below where you can see several clues. First is the Airborne helmet chin straps including the leather cup. In the shot from behind, he is clearly wearing a pair of M42 jump trousers and horse hide gloves. In the photo of the dress uniform, we can see a pair of jump wings over his ribbons.



Of course it is all Hollywood and they have been known to mix and match wardrobe. Either way, it spells bad news for the krauts!
