Before a paratroop jump there is a great deal of the most careful preparatory work to be

Before a paratroop jump there is a great deal of the most careful preparatory work to be done. Men cannot jump and land safely carrying guns and other heavy equipment: those must be dropped separately.
Such equipment is packed in special containers fastened underneath the plane. Then the paratroops enter the plane, it takes off (probably at night) and the men prepare to make their jump over the right spot. They must jump very quickly, one after another, so that they land reasonably close together on the ground. Middle East Paratroops make a jump.
Picture shows: As the men go aboard the plane they fix their static lines to the strap and take
their seats.
