Training For The War |

 (A covey of gliders await troops and tows by the C-47 at right) |
 (Probably taken at Camp Mackall, a C-47 hoists a glider into flight.) |
 (Training accidents, especially in gliders, produced horrific results.) |
 (The ubiquitous C-47s carried paratroopers on practice jumps as well.) |
 (Five chutes in full blossom and the sixth has jerked its owner parallel to the ground as it grabs air.) |
 (Stick of parachutists hit the silk.) |
 (At least ten parachutists are in the air.) |
 (Framed against a cloudy sky, a 'chutist has good silk.
another trooper is entering the photo at above left.) |
 (Taken with a 37-degree tilt, this trooper is about to touch down.) |
 (Trooper with main and reserve chutes deployed.) |
 (Five chutes are seen, two appear headed for trees.) |
 (OOPS! Unidentified trooper snagged in a tree.) |
