Image description

Two hands in the sky. American Sergeant James Closson, during a drill, jumped out of the plane, but the parachute did not open. While falling, a Negro, Lessie Smith, with an unprecedented presence of mind, managed to catch a piece of the Closson's parachute on the fly, abruptly stopping its fall. The two then landed happily to the applause of those who had trepiated for their fate. The terrifying scene was shot, moment by moment, by a film operator who was on a nearby machine. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 29 January 1956.
