Original caption

Scores of C-47 cargo planes in the air during U.S. Army maneuvers in England for the re-supply of airborne troops by parachute. Each plane is loaded with containers of supplies of ammunition and food, which are pushed out at 15-second intervals. The planes in this picture have reached their drop zone and parachutes in the air indicate that they area already dropping their containers for the use of troops below. January 7, 1944
