HQS, FEAF CARCOM, (A.T.)
The world's first air do of a bridge was made today by aircraft of the FEAF's Combat Cargo Command, was eight spans totaling 16 tons were parachuted near Kotori-Ri in North Korea.
United States Marines, fighting bitterly against hordes of Chinese Communist Troops in the frozen north, gazed up in awe as the huge C-119 "Flying Boxcars" of the 314th Combat Cargo Wing broke through an overcast and spilled out the huge pieces of equipment. Large 100 foot parachutes supported the spans as they drifted slowly down, landing near the determined leathernecks.
