BRITAIN'S PARATROOPS
A film about Britain's parachute troops, showing, the training ol' this most modern branch of the Army, is coming out from London shortly.
Specially produced for overseas, ''Paratroops' 8 first shows the recruits jumping olf high platforms and swinging from great heights to overcome dizziness. It then describes their training from the first practice jump out of a carrier attached to a balloon up to the actual leap from troop-carrying planes. The men 'land. Their parachutes are unstrapped. They get to work. Bridges blow up. Oil supplies blaze. It is a thrilling story, graphically done.
