Pigeons And Supplies Dropped By Parachute
Left: This is one of the 1,200 pigeons bred by British civilian fanciers, and used by the British Army. Each bird is placed in a special container and dropped to partisan fighters in enemy territory. The partisans send back vital information by means of the pigeons. Right: Food and supplies are dropped by parachute to Allied forces in North Burma. Less than 2 hours before this photo was snapped, this area was held by the Japs. Note the rickety rail line and the water-filled shell craters. Planes of the U.S. 10th Air Force have established a record for accuracy in dropping thousands of tons of supplies to Allied forces.
