Original caption

British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Allied Commander, and party, watch a mass paratroop demonstration in England. Over 1500 men participated in this jump from C-47 planes, probably the largest mass exhibition jump ever made. Supplies and equipment were also dropped.
