 Just
One More Jump
Pvt Coy Lee Moore stands
suited with parachute harness and emergency chute on his chest with
a backdrop of C-47s lined up.
Dated 13 July 1945,
which happened to be on a Friday, it would seem that Coy and other
50p8ers didn't suffer from Triskaidekaphobia, i.e., the fear of
Friday the 13th. |
 Men On 508th's Final Jump
MSgt. James B. Smylie (front, left) wrote on the back of his copy of
this photo,
"Me and a few of my boys after our last jump July, 1945 in
Frankfurt. Behind us is part of the large crowd who came from many places to
watch
the show. Most of us landed within 20 or 30 yards of where the
picture was snapped."
