Parachutes over French countryside

Varicolored parachutes swing earthward over the French countryside, dropped from the bomb bays of 8th AF heavy bombers containing vital supplies and weapons for the French Maquis. The Maquis can be seen gathering up the the supply cannisters. They have run trucks out to haul off the weapons, with which they will strike at the Nazi foe. As soon as the cannisters hit the ground the men are there to rush them to the waiting trucks.
