BRITAIN’S PARATROOPS
FILM PRODUCED FOR OVERSEAS. A film showing the training of Britain’s parachute troops, the most modern branch of the Army, is coming out from London shortly. Specially produced for overseas, “Paratroops” first shows the recruits jumping off 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-carry-ing planes. The men land. Their parachutes are unstrapped. They get to work. Bridges blow up. Oil supplies blaze. It is a thrilling story, graphic ally done.
