1930s PARACHUTE TRAINING EXERCISES PARACHUTISTS JUMPING FROM BLIMPS & AIRCRAFT (SILENT) 58394a
This short film shows footage of parachute exercises in the 1930s. At :39, students are shown jumping from a U.S. Navy blimp. At 1:30, a parachutist is shown with a spare safety chute deployed. (Note: the Bach Aircraft Co. hangar in the b/g identifies this as shot at Clover Field, Santa Monica, California.) At 2:10, parachute troops are shown in a training exercise jumping from transport aircraft -- probably Douglas DC-3s -- and landing at a horse race track, probably Hollywood Park or Santa Anita Park in Southern California.
Motion picture films don’t last forever; many have already been lost or destroyed. For almost two decades, we’ve worked to collect, scan and preserve the world as it was captured on 35mm, 16mm and 8mm movies -- including home movies, industrial films, and other non-fiction. If you have endangered films you’d like to have scanned, or wish to donate celluloid to Periscope Film so that we can share them with the world, we’d love to hear from you.

This film is part of the Periscope Film LLC archive, one of the largest historic military, transportation, and aviation stock footage collections in the USA. Entirely film backed, this material is available for licensing in 24p HD, 2k and 4k. For more information visit
