TWENTY AIRMEN LEAP FROM PLANE AT PAGEANT CROWD SEES SAFE LANDING NEW YORK, Tuesday. A world’s - record for massed parachute jumping was established over the Roosevelt Field, New York. Twenty airmen leapt from the cabin and wing of a twin-motored airplane while a crowd of 5,000 people watched them from below. The jumpers left the machine so fast that they were all in the air together. AllJanded.safely. Armand Lisette, a cinema photographer, who had taken up a position out on one wing kept his camera handle turning as his fellow jumpers shot downward. Then, he too jumped and continued taking photographs as he floated down to earth.
Henry Bushmeyer was the last to leap from the airplane. He made a delayed jump and fell several thousand feet before he opened his parachute, catching up with the others before they reached the ground.
