Great photos! I noticed in photo No. 5, a paratrooper has a M1 carbine without the collapsible steel stock. I wonder if the M1 was put there for the photo op?

This is most likely a staged shot or a practrice jump. Notice that there are NO other weapons in sight and their faces are not blacked out. The uniforms are brand new. The carbine is unsecured and the trooper would never have jumped with it this way. The carbine was probably borrowed from an airport MP for dramatic effect, since it is right up front in the photo.
