Paraflyers From Coe Train Amid Grounding
Two aircrewmen, J. H. Schroeder of Portsmouth and W. Jd. O’Bryan of Ozark, describe parachute landings and their air training at Coe. Both are new to air forces college training, with paratroop and flight backgrounds, now grounded and awaiting further instruction. Schroeder has 23 jumps and taught Canadian paratroopers. O’Bryan has eight jumps and ten hours of primary flight time. They recall the thrill of descent and plan future jumps, though not permitted at present.
