Captain Albert Berry made the first successful parachute jump from an airplane in Jefferson, Mississippi on this date in 1912.
Two years later the nations of Europe devoted a lot of time, effort, and money in developing excuses to justify the use of this new method of exiting a flying craft.

Mark,
It makes sense....why throw away a perfectly good aeroplane just because it's burning and spinning out of control....you'll only have to explain it at the courts martial. VBR, Mike

Bottom line is that the airmen who were the best off were the baloon observers. At least, they had the best chance of getting back down to Earth.  -Drew

Drew,
I beg to differ with you. Everyone had the same chance of getting back to earth...100%. Now, at what rate of speed and in what physical shape are questions that can be debated. VBR, Mike
