does anyone know anything about parachutes?

A parachute has been produced in Koleiai village in the Shortland Islands, which is at the western extreme of Solomon Islands. Right up against Bougainville, near where Ballalae and Kahili airstrips are. The local people are saying say it is connected to the wreck of a single seat fighter.

The detail on the parachute is as follows

Manufactured by Naval Aircraft Factory
Philadelphia Naval Yard. Pennsylvania
US Parachute Number 414903
Type QAS
Final Striking Date Oct. 52

Can anyone make anything from that?
