Paratroppers was first after the WWI and if I remember correctly it was the russian who was first to use soldiers to jump from airplanes. Edit. If my memory isn't playing with me, I say it was in the middle of the 20's

That was a little detour from the thread.

Parachuting was quit new when WWI started-please correct if I'm wrong.

Seem to remember a sentence-not all pilot had parachut and those who had didn't alway survive a jump, due to bad parachute etc.
