Description: Against a sky of drifting clouds, three aircraft cross in formation while dozens of small parachutes blossom beneath and behind them, the men hanging below as dark points. The source speaks of a large plane dropping soldiers and of the parachute corps assembling on the ground. The Red Army had shown mass parachute drops to foreign observers at the manoeuvres near Kiev in 1935.
