1941 Press Photo U.S. Army supply drop load with Parachute attached to plane

US-Parachute. Food, additional guns and ammunition, and water can be dropped to Parachute troops in loads up to 200 pounds in this adjustable container. The rubber bottle foreground, is for liquids. In large scale maneuvers, such delivery containers would be stowed in large transports rather than on the external bomb rack of a fighter as shown here.
