I Jumped with the guys who invented Skydiving.

Looking at the size of those troopers' canopies, especially the one in the foreground, I'd hope they're super-soldiers too. They're in for some hard landings!

Why's he got a helmet and a gun? (Oops, rifle)

U only make 2 jumps: the first one for some weird reason and the last one that you lived through. The rest are just filler.

That, and the fact that military round canopy operations usually take place a lot closer to the ground than the quoted 3 miles.

I dig those two-riser canopy setups. They apparently have the lines sewn directly to the risers, without connector links - oh my!

Why is Superman falling feet-first? He can fly any darned way he wants. I'd by swooping all around the other paratroopers.

Oh, and the risk of a freefall/canopy collision looks high.

Interesting that that cover was in 1959. Superman as a comic started selling in 1939, and fighting Nazis was a common theme in early comics. I'd have pegged that cover for 1945ish.

(Useless fact - Goebbels denounced Superman and his creator Jerry Siegel as a Jew. I am sure they were crushed.)

You sound like a comic book expert.

Why would they need the army with Superman on their side? He could clean up the baddies all by himself.
