Nazis May Be Using New

Type Of Parachute

By WILLIAM COURTENAY

THE German sky troops may be using a type of parachute, opening with a drop of 150ft., that was demonstrated to high R.A.F. officials two years ago.

This parachute was invented by Herr Eschner, an Austrian. I was instrumental in arranging the only public demonstrations of it ever held in this country- in July, 1938, when, at the invitation of Luton Corporation, I organised an air display at the opening of their new municipal airport.
