U.S. 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment paratroopers jump from C-47s during the U.S. return to Corregidor, Philippine Islands, in World War II.
Footage taken from the ground as paratroopers of the 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment jump from C-47 aircraft over Japanese-held Philippine island fortress of Corregidor, in World War 2. White smoke issues from the ground, providing a drop target for C-47 transport aircraft approaching in trail formation. The first wave of paratroopers are seen jumping, with chutes opening. But they appear to be dropping high hill, making their relative height over the ground very small and leaving little chute opening time (even though the aircraft are maintaining a constant preplanned altitude during the run). A U.S. soldier is seen walking past the camera. Then parachutes are seen descending and dotting the landscape. Ruins of fortress buildings are in the background. C-47s continue flying in background. View from th ground of paratroopers descending directly overhead and landing in dangerously uneven rocky terrain. Two trooper bend over another who has been injured during the drop. Their chutes are still billowing. Closeup of an injured trooper being assisted by another. Troopers spilling chutes, gathering their gear and beginning to assemble. More C-47s flying overhead and more chutes seen descending. Some are dark colored. A trooper hitting hard on rocky ground. Several troopers sitting on the ground as one pulls on the risers of a chute to spill the air.
