Paratroopers of the United Nations forces jump from aircraft near the North Korean towns of Sukchon and Sunchon well behind enemy lines, October 20, 1950.

These included some 4000 men of the 187th Regimental Combat Team who were loaded into 113  transports (C-119 Flying Boxcars and C-47 Dakotas) along with 12 105-mm howitzers, 39 jeeps, 38 1/4-ton trailers, a quartet of  90-mm antiaircraft guns, each with a 3/4-ton truck to pull them, and 584 tons of ammunition, gasoline, water, rations, and other supplies.

The next day they were in combat at the Battle of Yongju and, along with British and Australian forces, secured a UN victory over the North Koreans.
