| Keywords: vehicle aircraft Lot-9434-19: “Flying Troops Trains” For A Speedier War. Original caption, “To step up the war pace, America is finding more and more uses for the fastest means of transportation – the airplane. Not only is she hauling troops by air, but heavy equipment, such as anti-tank guns, scout cars, and motorcycles, as well. Here is an airborne infantry unit in training. They’re using “mock-ups,” replicas of the transport planes they’ll use when their training is complete. Shown: A “Jeep,” the Army’s versatile scout car, goes into the plane. The airborne infantry follows on the heels of parachute troops, whose job is to obtain an objective. Office of War Information Photograph, April 22-28, 1942. (2016/01/08).
