One down and one to go, as three parachutes waft to the ground. The pilots "bomb" with practiced accuracy. |
Silhouetted against the sky, a transport plane drops its load to an isolated outpost, while Naga Hill tribesmen and an American officer wait to collect the much-needed items. |
Naga hillsmen help carry the 'chutes and their loads to the base after they reach the ground. The Nagas are partially repaid with the 'chute cloth. |

The bundles of vitally-needed supplies are brought from the dropping grounds to a place of safety under a tree, clearing the "target area" for the parachuting of additional supplies. |
American Quartermaster troops direct the Nagas in stacking bundles in the bamboo basha warehouse for the sir-dropped supplies. |
