What makes someone decide they want to be a parachutist

[if-you-fan-a-fire]

"THEY DECIDED they wanted to ride their air planes all the way to the ground for a change. That's why you'll see two young AC2's at No. 3 Manning Depot, Edmonton, sporting silver wings on brand new air force blue uniforms. The wings mark them as paratroopers, and the fledgling air men are H. C. Furman of MacLeod, Alta., and Jack Lang of Tramping Lake, Sask. Members of the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion, they trained at Fort Benning, Ga., and Helena, Montana before both were overcome with the desire to fly and switched to the R.C.A.F. In this picture they get the "gen" on flying from FO. Blake Forrestt, young fighter and bomber pilot from Saskatoon who has flown on practically every fighting front where the R.C. A.F. has been engaged." (R.C.A.F. photo) - from the Kingston Whig-Standard. December 2, 1943. Page 12.
