    Furthermore, paratroopers will be released from these aircraft wearing that period’s uniform while operating the World War II style parachutes. This airborne armada with its flight and para-trooping action is going to be a high salute for the Greatest Generation, The Allied Citizen Soldiers who despite caring for their lives fought for the freedom of their fellow countrymen and paid the price for it with their blood.
