Paratroopers train at a British airfield with 300 men practicing on trapezes and mats. They learn to fall, turn in air, and land stiffly with voice-guided instruction from the Birdman, Harry Ward. Training differs: American jumps from over 1000 feet, British from 800, with chute opens after 70 feet. Night drops simulate combat, and soldiers carry gear to colored parachutes delivering arms and rations.
