Parachute Troops
Fulfill Prophecy
|OfGen. Mitchell

The American parachute troops
who spearhesded the invasion OF
Sicily fulfilled prophecy made %
years ago by Gen. William Mitchell
in the National Geographic Maga-
zine.
In an article published in March.
1921, entitled America in the Air
he listed soldiers attacking by para
chute among the spectacular de-
velopments to be expected in the air
age
Since the small airplane of that
time was unable to carry enough
men to fill the needs of his imagi-
nation, he envisioned the. future
paratrooper as travelling almost
soundlessly to his objective in a
giant dirigible. "A large airship can
carry 200 fully equipped infantry
men and drop them off in para
chutes If necessary"
True to Gen. Mitchell's dream,
paratroops now are a part of the
infantry, although many people as
sociate them with the Air Forces.
